Nevertheless it is admitted thai
Germany has always taken a distinc'
view of tine status OF armed ships ana
it is thought possible it will attempt
TO inject the point into the present
situation. So long as the policies OF
the Two governments are so utterly
divergent it is thought possible that
Germany might use the Marina case
to settle the issue. It's increased sub
marine warfare combined with the in
creasing number Of armed Allied ships
and their increasing efficiency in de-
tense makes it a vital question to it.
