British Note in reply to USA Note of 29 December 1914 on interference with neutral shipping.^{[Notes 1]}

↑ The following are the chief points of the Note: (a) Any modern war must result in the dislocation of the trade of neutrals. (b) Figures are quoted to show that the export trade of the United States has not been injured by British measures. (c) The doctrine of "continuous voyage" is defined and supported by precedents from the American Civil War. (d) The British procedure in dealing with neutral ships and cargoes is justified. (e) The British view regarding conditional contraband is explained, but it is added that the British Government are doubtful whether the existing rules are suited to existing conditions, it being impossible in a country like Germany to draw a clear line between the civil and the military population, especially as the German Government has taken control of foodstuffs. (f) The British Government will still endeavour to avoid injury to neutrals, but the German submarine policy has made it necessary for them to consider what measures they should adopt in protection of British interests. "It is impossible for one belligerent to depart from rules and precedents and for the other to remain bound by them."
