after several days of consultation. was
made public ill the forlll of a letter
from the secretary oi' state to Sellatol'
Stonc, of Missouri, chairman cf the
senate committee on foreign relations.
While the letter is ll reply to an ill-
quiry frolll Senator Stone for inform-
:ltioll ns ll result of complaints made
ill the press, and ill letters from vari-
ous parts of the country, charging thc
Wuslllllgtoll government with llnfar-
lless to Germany and Austria, it also
is intended as tl. -pronoullcelnent of
policy' on some questions oi' neutrality
previously unexplained.
After answerillg separate and speci-
ilc charges, and calling attellticll to
the fact. that thc United States has
promply taken to task Great Britain
as well as Gernltllly and every govern-
lllcllt which ill any way has illfringeti
upon thc rights oi' this coutnry, tile
letter concludes with the following
declaration oi` the lllucll discussed
question of expectation of war llllllli-
tions:
"lf ally American citizen, partlzans

a way injurious to the cause of those
countries, this feeling results frolll thc

the business of a belligerent operating
-on the high seas, not the duty of a.
neutral, to prevent contraband from
reselling an enemy. Those ill this
country who sympathize with Ger-
many and Austria-Hungary appear to
assume that some obligation rests up-
on this government, ln the perform-
ance of its neutral duty to prevent
all trade to-contraband. and thus to
equalize the difference due to the
relative naval strength ofthe belliger-
ellts. No such obligation exists; it
would be all unneutral act, an act of
,partiality on the part of this govern-
‘lnent, to adopt such a policy, if the
[executive had the power to do so.
“lf Germany and Austria-Hungary
cannot import contraband from this
country, it is not, because of this fact.
the duty of the United States to'close
is markets tc the Allies. The markets
of this country are open on equal
terms to all the world. to every na-
tion, beiligcrent or neutral."
Refused Canada'l Request
During thc course of the latter's dis-
cussion ot’ the various charges made.
some facts llithertc undisclosed were
revealed for the first time. anion!
them that the Canadian government
-recntly asked the United States for
permission to ship. _“war,equipment”
across Alaska to the sea. and the re-
quest was refused.
in a general way the letter sets forth
lthat the rules of neutrality have been
‘prolnulgated by the American gov-
ernment without discrlmination and
have been applied with equal fair-
ness to all concerned.
