A despatch from Washington says: • Great Britain's embargo on the , ex- port of all supplies to',the northern European, neutral countries, just an- nounced, was declared after every phase• of its possible effect Was gone over in conferences between American and allied statesmen. " American officialsinitiated the dis- cussions, and iscussions,`:and insisted that the British step be taken to make sure that there lie no nullification of the "purposes the 'il•nited States Government had in view in putting into operation its own embargo, The step indicated that the allies have united in a decisionthat the neutrals must cut off othe shipment ,of all supplies to. Germany. Ameri- can officials, and come of the, allies here have hesitated as to just how far to go in demanding cessation of trade between the neutrals and Ger- many. At one time it appeared.they Would ask no more than that neither allied goods nor materials supplanted by alliedcommodities be sold in Ger- Many by. the ,neutrals.
