Washington. February 5.-President Wilson and his cabinet today discussed the possible effects on neutral shipping of the Goldman proclamation declaring as naval war zone the waters surround Ing Great Britain and Ireland, and bor- dering the north and west coast of France and a portion of The Netherlands.
 Since the text of the proclamation had not arrived. no conclusions were reached and no consensus of opinion developed as to what diplomatic steps the United States should take. Should the commun- 1cation fail to arrive by tomorrow Act ing Secretary of State Lansing will di- rect Ambassador Girard at Berlin to make the customary inquiry as to the authenticity of the published report
 If the German proclamation corresponds In phraseology to the report which came by wireless yesterday, it was suggested In executive quarters that the course of the American government probably would be to inquire first of the German gov ernment what measures of protection of convoy can be expected by American mer- chant. ships passing through the desig- hated war zones to neutral ports, and second Qf the British government as to whether or not it has issued the alleged secret order permitting the use of neutral flags by her merchantmen.
 A denial by Great Britain of the ex- 1stence of the order would be followed. 1t is understood, by an inquiry of the German authorities as to proof of their charge.
 It was said the United States prob- ably would seek only to establish what measures the German navy would take to aid American ships in passing safely through the war zones and what efforts would be made to verify the neutral char. acter of vessels flying the American flag.
 International Law
 The right of belligerent to desig- nate a water area as war zone is a lately recognized principle of interna tional law. Great Britan's declaration of the North sea as a war zone be- cause of mines, called forth protests from some European neutrals but the United States made no protest During the Rus

Discuss Edict

The Hague, February 5.-(Via London, 11:90 D. m)-Although Germanys notice concerning the danger to merchant ship
 ping in British waters has not called out
 much comment in the Dutch press, dip
 lomats and business men are discussing
 it with animation.
 In shipping circles it is declared that the notice will have slight effect on
 Dutch vessels, most of which are ex- pected to continue their voyages accord ing to schedule although some ships may l choose the northerly routes. Ship com panies believe vessels may take the risks. especially liners engaged in East Indian traffic which would be greatly ineon- venienced if compelled to abandon their ordinary routes.
 In diplomatic and other circles the 1 view is expressed that the notice is aimed principally at vessels carrying sup | plies from America whose constant ar l rival with cargoes for countries allied against Germany is said to have aroused
 the greatest indignation in that coun- l try.
 1 The Dutch government thus far has | declined to express an opinion.

So-JapaneSe war, officials recalled today Japan designated 12 strategic areas" Certain rules were promulgated for the treatment of neutral ships then and some thing of the same character is expected in the present situation.
 High officials here did not believe, as some German papers have intimated that the German government intends deib- erately to destroy neutral vessels in the war zone. Rules of international law call for careful search of neutral yes sel to determine how much of its cargo is contraband and even then, the ship can be destroyed only in rare emergen- cies and on the assumption that it would have been condemned as a prize.
 While in many quarters Germany's s ac- tion was referred to as Q blockade" designation of war zone technically is an entirely different matter. Neutral ves- sells under a blockade are absolutely for bidden from entering the blockaded areas but under Germanys proclamation. there is no penalty or obstacle directly placed against passage of a neutral ship through the zone. A neutral vessel enters the dangerous area at it's own risk, however. The situation is somewhat analogous to the mine strewn fields of the North sea, though destruction by a submarine whose nationality could be ascertained would differ in legal consequences from explo- sion of contact mine, responsibility for the laying of which might never be fixed.
 Would Starve England
 The German admiraltys notice. it was eontended at the German embassy. is the natural result of the British attitude to- wards foodstuffs intended for Germany. While the embassy had received no ad- vices supplementing the text of the or der. it was made plain that the intention of the order as understood here, is to prevent entrance of food into England. The German understanding seems to be, it was explained. that Great Britain pur- poses not only to stop the food cargo on the Wihelmina but to seize other cargoes.
 While none of the neutral embassies and legations had instructions from their governments. it was suggested by some would be made in the general policy of protesting in specific cases only. The pos sibility of a joint protect by neutrals was discussed informally but without official sanction
 The Netherlands minister tomorrow will confer with state department officials to ascertain the probable action of this gov ernment Officials at the legation char acterized the situation as extremely se- rious for all neutrals whose ships ordi- narily pass through the danger zone and especially for Holland, whose entire coast line is affected.
