Show AGREE ON SUBMARINE POLICY. President's Advisers Still Hope Break With Germany May be Avoided. "Washington. The submarine issue between Germany and the United States was discussed in all its phases Tuesday at a meeting of President Wilson and his cabinet. A general outline of the future course of the American government is understood to have been agreed upon, although a final decision was postponed pending receipt of the German Ger-man note, now on its way, denying that German submarines torpedoed the Sussex and other merchant ships which recently have met disaster, and additional evidence in the same cases collected by American diplomats. If such a communication as now is contemplated is sent to Germany it will be designed to preclude the possibility pos-sibility of further drawn out diplomatic diplo-matic exchanges and to make it plain that reiterated assurances and promises prom-ises that international law will be respected re-spected cannot protect the friendly relations between the two countries if illegal attacks upon peaceful merchantmen mer-chantmen carrying Americans are continued. |
