By the Associated Prest
Washington. Jan. i. Ambassador Walter
Hlnes Page in a long report from London
received today rollowlng his conference
with high officials here described tin
general attitude of thr British government
and the people toward Ihe American note
or protest concerning shipping as entirely
rnendiy.
The ambassador detailed the British pre
criticism whose tone he regarded as ou
the w hole reasonable and amicable in
some (piarters not among nrriclals he
found a disposition to search roí a motive
behind the American note some English-
men suggesting that the Washington ad-
ministration bad been compelled lo yield
pressure from members or congress
representing canstliuenries vitally arrecteu
by the interruptions in trade. This por-
tion or the English public opinion seemed
to think id-- American note was Intended to
some extent for home consumption.
High officials of ihe Washington govern
ment pointed out tonight that there was
not ih. slightest foundation ror such a
suggestion as the nole was not originally
Intended Tor the press. It Is understood
thut Ambassador Page had anticipated such
mistaken impressions by assuring the Brit-
ish government Inrormally lhat the United
States was thoroughly In earnest Tne
rime was phrased In a candid and frank
manner he Is understood lo have ex-
plained particularly s it was not written
with the ii i of publication. As the
synopsis leaked out however the am-
basssdor had been inatructed to arrange
ror the publication or the complete text to
satisfy the desire ror more information in
both countries.
Incidentally the ambassador cabled that
the British governmen had corrected some
English newspaper reporta which spoke of
a discourtesy in premature up 11 cation. Mr.
Page reported that Lord Ualdane-in charge
or the roreign orrice. avaa Informed of the
purport or the communlraiion before even
Ihe first intimation or the contents of the
note was published.
The views in the British press were read
with much Interest by officials. The argu-
ment that England la fighting what she
believes to be a life and death struggle.
It was pointed out. waa rully recognised
In Ihe American note but 11 was contended
the delays or some cargoes exceeded the
manliest necessity for neutrality.
Tbe general heller in Washington Is that
a common ground will be reached In ru-
lure diplomatic correspondence whereby
derinlte arrangements will be put into ef-
fect to relieve American exporters or un-
certainty. Reports that another note Is in prepara-
tion concerning the listing or absolute and
conditional contraband were said by olTI-
olala to have grown out or Ute suggestion
In the American note that while these ar-
tlctea were open to objection they would
be rurther discussed at another lime. No
note has as yet been drafted on the sub-
ject. It was said.
