The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Page)

[Telegram]

1408. Your April 8, 1907. You will say to British Government, in replying to its statement regarding release steamer Wico, that this Government considers that any seizure of American cargoes which might be made by the German authorities would be a matter which should be adjusted between the Government of the United States and the German Government, and further say that the Government of the United States does not perceive that any such action on the part of the German authorities could afford justification for seizures of American cargoes by the British authorities.
