WIN magnify English Issue
There Ia no doubt In Washington
now that the settlement OF the sub
marine controversy with Germany
which seems to grow more probable
each day--wili lead to the emphasize
ing and magnifying of the issue with
Great Britain over her alleged uniaw-
full interference with American COM
merce IN the prosecution Of her block
ade of Germany. The efforts of the
German government are to be exerted
In this direction. and II is apparent
that Germany Is already counting up
on the benefits likely to accrue to
her through change In public senti.
ment in this country in her favor and
against Great Britain.
What is to be the attitude OF the
President toward Germans assump-
ton that the administration already
stands committed to more vigorous
contention for the freedom OF the Seas,
has not been disclosed. but there -
no doubt In Washington that the ad-
ministration will act speedily ana with
determination against Great Britain.
