Wilson Drops Protest Plan OnBlacklist
Washington July 25 The United States is unlikely to enter a protest over Britain's blacklist action after a Cabinet meeting. Secretary Polk announced Britain assured the blacklist is not aimed at neutral capital but to keep enemy aid from flowing. The State Department says it will protest only if needed and will press mail seizure issues separately. The embassy promises a fuller explanation soon, with Britain asserting the move prevents Napoleonic repeats and does not violate law.
