SCHWAB GIVES UP
 BIG WAR ORDERS

Washington, Dec. 8 Formal an nouncement was made by Secretary Bryan today that Charles M Schwab has given up his plans to have the Fore River shipbuiIding company con-
 struct 8 feet of submarines for one of the belligerents.
 MT. Schwab has made this sacrifice in deference to President Wilson s wishes, just as J. F. Morgan gave up negotiations for a loan to France when Mir. Wilson expressed the opinion 1t would constitute a violation of the spirit oS neutrality.
 It has been repoHted that Mr. European Powers, presumably Eng land, for the building of submarines amounted to as much as $50, 900 0O0 It was acknowledged officially here today that MT. Schwab had been advised by eminent international lawyers whom he had employed as counsel that legal 1y it was permissible for the Fore FStv'er company to build submarines in parts and ship them in sections to Europe.
 MT. Schwab's voluntary assurance came shortly before he sailed for Eur open day. or two ago. and it is @ap- parent now that his trip has to- do with the cancellation of the contract.
 This sta atement was issued by Secre- tary Bryan:
 When information reached the State Department that the Fore River com pany was planning to build a number of submarines for the Allies inquiries were made to ascertain the facts.
 As a result of this inquiry MT Schwab called at the State Depart ment last week with his attorney. and laid before the Department what his company had planned to do, saying that before undertaking the work he had secured the opinion of a number of international lawyers and was keep ing within the requirements of neu- trality as outlined by them.
 r stated to him that the President. basing his opinion upon information already obtained, regarded the work as contemplated a violation of the spirit of neutrality, but told him I would lay his statement before the President and then give him a final answer
 "on FridayNI had a conference with the President and he instructed me to inforra Mr. Schwab that his GGr statement only confirmed the President in the opinion previously formed, that the submarines should not be built. ? Within few minutes after my. re- turn from the White House MT. Schwab called me by long distance telephone and told me that he submit ted to the PreSidents views of the sub. ject and that I could announce his firm would not build submarines for any belligerent country for delivery dur Ing the war z
