Berlin. April THE submarine
issue, especially in relation to the
United States, was uppcrmost in the
Reichstag discussions to-day. The res
olution on U-boat warfare calling for
its energetic prosecution against Eng
land was up for adoption and served
to release the surcharged feelings OF
many members.
With the budgets OF the Imperial
Chancellor and the Foreign Office, the
resolution was passed almost without
debate, though the provisions which By
their harshness might have offended
neutrals had been withdrawn in con-
ference of the chief parties of :he
Rechstag.
Echoing Chancellor vol Bethmann-
Hollweg's speech on Wednesday. al
the speakers to-day insisted that the
retaliatory war against Britain must
be pressed TO the hilt With but few
exceptions they referred to the United
States, in supplying war munitions. as
being virtually in league with the
Allies.
Friedrich Won Payer, of the Progress
sive Peoples party, varied OF the dan

Common dangers and successes bind
us to our allies. Cooperation in peace
must follow comradeship in war"

the submarine matter before the
Reichstag was satisfactory TO his party

DR.. Gustav Stresemann, National
Liberal, spoke as follows:
Against the more stringent blockade
of Germany which was decided upon at
the Paris conferences We must use our
sharp weapons in order TO bride Eng
lands arrogance. The just interests OF
neutras must be respected, as has
hitherto been done by the government,
in the strictest manner. America has
interpreted the idea of neutrality in a
manner incompatible with the German
conception. IL is an unjustifable de-

be permitted TO sail unhindcred within

available only from the official stepo-

"The press, the people and the gov
ernment of America have shown by
their conduct that their sympathies
and business instincts favor England
and not Germany. America has be-
