Washington, December 1.-The United
States government today formally in
quired of the Bethlehem Steel company If
the firm intended to construct submarines
for. use by European beligerents.
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
company. and other officials of the con-
Germ, in response to an invitation from
the state department explained orally
their position and agreed to submit it in
writing in few days. In the meantime,
neither they nor the state department Of
ficials would disclose the extent of the
companys activities
The question under consideration is how
far American firms may go in the manu-
facture of materials for use in the con-
struction of warcraft without violating
United States neutrality laws.
Although the export of arms and am
munition,' horses, motor trucks, shells and
even large guns Is not prohibited, and
neutral is not obligated by international
law to prevent their shipment, a differ
ent attitude is assumed in law toward the
building or equipping Of foreign warship
on neutral territory.

According to high officials the point
which will decide the Washington gov
ernment's position will be. determine
ton of the state at which materials to be
used in the building of vessel are
delivered to a belligerent They would
not comment on where the line OF demar-
cation would be put 1t was generally be-
1eved, however, the shipment at one
time of all the parts of the vessel, even
though in separate cargoes, probably
would be disapproved
