London-SpecuIation as to Their Ma
ture Is Widespread Among Diplo
mats in Washington.
Washington, Feb. 24-Proposals
have been made Informally by the
United States government to both
Great Britain and Germany suggesting
a basis for an understanding on the
subject of foodstufs for the civilian
population of belligerept countries and
submarine warfare against merchant
ships.
These proposals have been guarded
with the utmost secrecy and officials
are reluctant to discuss them because
OF the delicacy of the negotiations.
AS for the proposals made to the
belligerents it is known that they are
of farreaching Importance.
They were embodied in a contiden,
tial memorandum which both Ambas.
sadors Page and Gerard were instruct.
ed by President Wilson to take up in.
formally with the respective foreign
offices at London and Berlin.
The new communications are in no
sense replies to ;Germany's note,
though they relate to the same sub
ject. They constitute what are de-
scribed in diplomacy as informal in.
quiries,' and frequently, it acceptable,
become formal. r..
Speculation as to what the sugges-
tons were was widespread in diplo.
matte quarters. but none of the am
bassadors and ministers here was
aware. it was said, of their nature
The belief most commonly held,
however. was that some form of SUI
pervision over the distribution of
fcodstuffs to the civilian population of
Germany either by American consular
agents or American organizations had
been proposed.
1t was recalled that such propose
was made by Germany, but could no.
be put into effect without the consent
Of all the belligerents.

submarine warfare if assured that
