There was talk today of calling a conference to discuss a plan of united action and engage joint counsel, but no definite course of procedure has been agreed upon.

A number of merchants expressed the opinion that the list as made public contained only a few of the American and foreign firms with American affiliation which have fallen under British officials displeasure. It was suggested that the list was put a-s a "feeler" to see what effect it woulu have on American sentiment. Some of the men on the list expressed indignation. They said they had jxpected this action for several months and since they have long been unablu to do business' with their clients in Germany it would be useless to make fur- protest.

Mr.

Schall said that after assuring the British embassy that members of his firm, with but one exception, arc citizens of t'ic United States, he WAS told that the name of the company might be removed from the secret blacklist if a guarantee were given that no business would be done with Germany.
