The Note protesting against the Anglo-French treatment of neutral mails has been published, it denounces the alleged arbitrary methods of forcing neutral ships into ports in order to seize mails, and complains of the loss of important and irreplaceable documents and the delays. The Note concludes that only a radical change of the Anglo-French policy, restoring to the United States her full rights as a neutral Power, will satisfy her. In a general sense the Note is friendly. It admits that the difference concerns practice, not principles, and concedes the right to seize securities, cheques and notes, which right was hitherto contested.
