Britain outlines policy on contraband in neutral trade

The British ambassador Sir Cecil Spring-Rice presented notes to the American State Department detailing Britain’s stance on contraband. The policy articulates that shippers should declare exact destinations, adopt continuous voyage doctrine, and treat conditional contraband such as certain goods with scrutiny, while absolute contraband like munitions remains seizure-prone in neutral ships. Cotton is singled out as neither absolute nor conditional contraband and may be shipped to neutral or belligerent ports without hindrance.
