Excerpt from Great Britain and Neutral Commerce: Part I, Great Britain and the Right of Search, Part II, The British Blockade of Germany It is not surprising to find that the obvious convenience of search in a port, even in days before it was so necessary as at the present time, led belligerents to adopt this method. As was pointed out by Sir Edward Grey in his communication of the 10th February to the American Government. The present con¿ict is not the first in which this necessity has arisen as long ago as the Civil War the United States found it necessary to take vessels into the United States ports in order to determine whether the circumstances justified their detention. Sir Edward Grey also pointed out that the same need arose during the Russo Japanese War and also during the second Balkan War when British vessels were compelled to follow cruisers to some spot where the right of search could be more conveniently carried out, and that this was ultimately acquiesced in by the British Government.
