ACTION MAY BE DELAYED
OVER NEUTRAL COMMERCE

President Wilson's negotiations with
the entente allies regarding treatment of
neutral commerce may be delayed on
account of the statement contained In the
German note Of May ) that the imperial
government was confident that in view
of the orders issued for submarine
warfare the United States would insist
upon Great Britain also observing the
rules Of international law in dealing with
trade, and reserving to itself complete
liberty Of decision" unless that were
done.
II was stated authortatively today
that Germany's note had complicated
the situation. making it impossible for
the United States to press its demands
upon the allies at once without appear
ing to do so at the bidding of the Ber-
lin government.
Secretary Lansing admits that he has
asked Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to
ascertain the nature of the punishment
imposed by the German government on
the commander of the submarine which
sank the steamer Sussex. Mr.. Lansing
said the request was not q formal in
quiry to the German government.
