England Denies Interference With U S Trade On Cotton
London May 20 The foreign office issued an explanatory memorandum to correct perceived misgivings about Great Britain’s stance toward American ships and cargoes detained under the order in council. It states cotton cargoes bought under the cotton agreement have been purchased and payment will follow ownership proofs, with delays as documents travel from the United States. Three American ships detained include two cotton vessels and the Joseph W Fordney, which was seen trying to reach Norwegian waters after failing to evade search. The cargo on the Fordney is believed to be destined for Germany, putting it under prize court. In total 36 neutral vessels hold American cargoes, 23 of which carry cotton, with U S assurances that shipments conform to the March 12 London Gazette supplement agreement.
