AMERICAN REPLY

Washington. Aug. 5. The American
reply to Austria-Hungary's note |
?uggesting an embargo on war exports
to the Allies on the grouml that the
traffic has grown to proportions
I'Ahich violate Amer,can neutrality, has
been finished at the State Department.
The note ?iterates the attitude of
th- United States, a.? it was expressed i
on a previoui occasion to Count von
BernstorfT, German Ambassador, that
"the placing <>; an embargo on the
truie ii. arm? at thi.? tun. would be a
direct violation of neutrality of the
States."
Austria'? contention that "a neutral
gover i.eiit is not permitted to allow
unhindered trade in contraband of
war i'' this trade assumes such a char
? actei 01 proportion? t:.at the neutrality
j of thr country is thereby impaired" is ;
, declared to be impractical. The United '
S] ? contends that a limit beyond
! which the amount of war exports to a
belligerent endanger? the neutrality!
of a non-belligerent cannot be arbi
trarily .?<-t.
The furthei content.on that Congres.?

tied in empowering the President to re- ;
