Presentation to the United States con.
cerning the German submarine U-53,
pending an announcement Of it's atti-
tude by the American government,
said Viscount Grey, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, in the house of
lords.
In reply to a question concerning
the attitude of the United States to-
ward British patrols. Viscount Grey
said that the United States admitted
the British ships were not exceeding
their legal rights under international
law, but that the American govern.
ment complained of their presence on
the ground of the irritation which the
continued presence of belligerent war
ships off the coast of the United Stat.
es naturally caused in neutral coun.
try. He declared that the United
States had requested Great Britain
very emphatically not to patrol off it's
coast, and said that instructions were
sent TO the British ships there to
avoid causing any unnecessary irrita-
ton and to comply as far as possible
with the American request.
To Await v. S. Inquiries.
With regard to the U-53," the for
eign secretary continued, I'VE do not
know what steps were taken by the
United States for patrolling it's wat
ers or in regard to her coming into
port and securing information from
newspapers. We do not know whether
is is true that American war ships
got out Of the submarines way. That
is matter for the American govern
ment only, and we assume that gov
eminent is making full inquiries. We
also assume it will announce its at i
titude in due course Pending that we
do not propose to make any official
representation on the subject of the
submarine"
American Ideas Curious.
The question concerning the Ger
man submarine raid in American wat
ers was raised by Baron Charles Ber-
esford, former commander of the Brit
ish home fleet; Earl Grey, former gov
of Canada, and others.
Baron Beresford asked whether Brit
ish cruisers were removed from Ameri
can waters owing to American objec-
tons, and if so what steps the govern
ment proposed for the protection of
British vessels. He criticized the sub
marine reply as at least curt and said
the American ideas of neutrality were
curious.
Earl Grey wanted an assurance that
the report was untrue that American
of destroyers had acced
ed to the request of the German COM
mander to clear out of the way and
give him room to blow up ships.
