THE BLACK LIST
COMPLICATIONS MULTIPLY . AMERICA AND GERMAN EXPORTS Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. Washington, September 19. The' State, Department officials declare thai' if the German Courts impose penalties on Americans who are unable to fulfil tkqjr contracts because of the British black list, retaliafion by the United States against Germany will probably result. The conditions imposed by tho war are such that the State Department-' believes that no Court could hold the contracts binding, but if the German Courts attempt to penalise Americans it is practically certain that tho State Department will encourage suits in American Courts against Germans who have failed in their contracts for war reasons. [A wiroless, dispatch from Berlin, printed in the "Now York World, stated .that largo American importing houses having contracts to take Gorman goods have been served with notices that tho Germans intend filing suits to enforce their fulfilment. The Germans say chat the contracts must bo fulfilled in spite of the blockade. It was stated that one Now York firm 'had German goods worth half a million dollars'lying at Rotterdam'.]
