Germany's Reasonable Suggestion

n ERMANY'S latest suggestion 10 neutral
~ governments, including that OF this coun-
try, is altogether reasonable. In effect it
amounts to this: that masters OF peaceful
ships be notified that they must obey the
orders Of submarine commanders to stop, and
further, that they will put their ships beyond
the pale OF protection, recently guaranteed
anew. if they shape their course toward the
submarine.
From the beginning this country has in
sisted on the immunity of peaceful ships only
in case they did not resist, or attempt to
escape. bclligerent warship. This is en-
phasizcd in the German suggestion. And the
fragility of submarine and their vulncr-
ability to any sort of attack, including the
rammng by another vessel, makes clear the
reason for the demand that ship, when
summoned. shall not turn in the direction of
the overhauling submarine
1t is. perhaps an encouraging sign of Ger
many's intention TO abide by her agreement
as TO submarine warfare that she now insists
on such observance Of the reasonable rules
for the govcrnElent of peaceful vessels as
Will enable her to pursue the course outlined
in her latest instructions to submarine COM
manders with due regard for their own
sd fety.
