CONTRABAND CONTROL
ESTABLISHMENT OF STATION AT ST JOHN MOVE TO PLACATE AMERICAN RESENTMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright NEW YORK, January 29.
The Ottawa correspondent of the “New York Times” says that an announcement can be expected in a few days of a British and Canadian plan to make St John (New Brunswick), which is outside the war zone defined by the American Neutrality Act, an examination point for United States ships en route to European and neutral ports, thus eliminating the most objectionable (from the American viewpoint) feature of the British contraband control, namely the forcing of American ships into war zone ports, where they are forbidden to go under the Neutrality Act.
It is understood that the British regard the matter as at least a defensible feature of the blockade against which the United States has protested and therefore are anxious immediately to placate American resentment by providing facilities for quick examination.
