Outwardly calm, government officials

henslOn over developments In German
warfare against the English ally

American liner. the Carlb, the sltua-
iion assumed more seriousness than

Efforts 10 obtaining exemption for

came known that this government had
directed 10 England and Germany In
formal inquiries seeking freedom for
United States ships through foreign
waters, and trying for an understands

On the latter point rested the de-
termination of the whole problem.
Authorities believed that II this prob
