THE BRITISH NOTE.
FRIENDLY RECEPTION IN
AMERICA,
LONDON, May 1.
The "Times'" correspondent at Washington says that Press opinion is generally favourable to the British Note regarding the searching of vessels for contraband. The Americans are too prosperous to make trouble regarding the curtailment of trade, and other ' factors helping towards friendliness are the grateness of the submarine controversy and the constant humiliating revelations of Germany's plots.
The German plotters instead of abusing England are now everywhere holding meetings to protest against a rupture with Germany, and they are attempting to.organise another revolt in Congress against Mr Wilson. They are deluging Congressmen with telegrams.
LAn officially inspired article in the "Cologne Gazette" prepares public opinion for a partial "climb down" on the submarine question, on the grounds that German defiance of America' would precipitate U breach for which the Allies are working.
