INTERNATIONAL N AVAL CONFERENCE. DESTRUCTION OF NEUTRAL , PRIZES. DEFINITION OF CONTRABAND OF WAR. Received March 23, 8.15 a.m. | LONDON, March 22. ! "The Times," in a further referj ence to the Naval Conference Blue Books, says:-"If Great Britain agrees to the establishment of a court, it will be on conditions which do not pledge us beforehand t:> recognise at the bidding of an international tribunal an iniquitous pretension. On the other hand, there has been reasonable give-and-take on other points. The destruction of neutral prizes is restricted to an imperious military necessity, which must be proved to the satisfaction of the court" ' "The Times" writes that the greatest success of the conference is the agreement on the three lists—the first, which defines absolute contrabrand of war; the second, defining conditional contraband; and the third, defining goods not contraband. The last-named list includes practically ail raw materials of British industry, such as cotton.
