collected by its diplomatic representa-
tives abroad.
Cabinet members said the decision 20
make an inquiry OF Germany was in
line with the policy OF collecting all the
information before decision was
reached.
Should Germany admit the attack. but
claim the submarine commander ex-
ceeded his orders. officials believed that
would be regarded as evidence that II
was impraoticable for submarine COM
manders to attempt TO distinguish be-
tween the armed and unarmed vessels.
The possibility that the attack on the
Sussex might lead TO a general clear
ing up of the submarine issue was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting.
All Reports BerOre Cabinet.
The decision TO make the inquiry was
reached by the president and his advis-
ers at today's meeting Of the cabinet.
The president and cabinet members we're
furnished with all reports concerning the
disaster which had reached the State de-
partment from diplomatic and consular
representatives in France and England.
Members of the cabinet said that evil
denoo IN possession of the United States
was not conclusive enough to warrant
decisive action at this time. For this rea-
son Il was decided 20 make inquiry OF
Germany. A majority Of tho cabinet
members. however. believed preliminary
reports clearly indicated the Sussex was
torpedoed.
