u. S. PLAN IS
NOT FAVORED
Wilson's Proposal for Disarm.
ing Merchant Ships
May Fail.

Strong doubt Is felt in State Depart
ment circles as to whether Great Britain
and her allies will accept the informal
proposals of the United States govern
ment looking to an agreement for the dis
armament Of all merchant vessels.
Informal communications have been
sent to Great Britain and France, through
their local embassies. and copies supplied
to the other entente allies, suggesting
that modus vivendi be established under
which they shall agree 10 disarm mer-
chant vessels. provided the Teutonic pow
ers, for their part shall agree not to
attack unarmed merchantmen without
first exercising the duty of warning, visit
and search, and making provision for the
safety Of passengers and crews on board.
Great Britain, the State Departn ent
has been unof.icially informed, looks
askance at the proposal, first on the
ground that international law has always
recognized the right Of merchant vessel
to carry defensive armament as protec-
tion against illegal attack, and. secondly,
on the ground that such an agreement
would leave British shipping At the mer-
,cy of lawiess submarine warfare
The Teutonic powers. on the other
hand. have insisted that because Of the
impossibility Of drawing the Hne between

sistance to lawful capture. armed ships

The nomination by President Wilson
yesterday Of Louis d. Brandeis to be

Senate will be lengthy and hot
