WAR RISES.
PROPOSED IMMUNITY OF PRIVATE PROPERTY,
By Cable—Press .issociatlon—Copyright Received 7, 11.50 pjm. London, May 7. Mr Morrcll moved that it is desirable that the Government should negotiate with the leading maritime powers to secure the immunity of private property, except ships violating a blockade. Mr Gordon Harvey seconded. Sir Edward Grey said the Government was unable to accept any motion which would commit them to the abolition of the right of blockade, but if it had evidence that the granting of immunity of private property was likely to lead to a reduction of expenditure on armaments, it was prepared to agree to a modification of the rights of capture. Foreign governments, however, had given no such indication, and it was essential that Great Britain should not produce a state of things wherein the balance of risk would be enormously in favor of llio Continental countries against Britain. The motion was talked out.
