Washington May Sine United
States answer to Germany's note
was cabled by Secretary Lansing to
Ambassador Gerard today.
It informs the German government
that the United States accepts Ger
many's declaration of abandonment
Of former submarine policy. It adds
that the United States now Keller up
on the "scrupulous execution of the
altered policy to remove the principal
danger of interruption of good rela-
tions existing between the two coun-
tries"
With this acceptance is coupled
formal notice to Germany that the
United States cannot for a moment
entertain, much less discuss, the sug-
gestion that Germany's respect for
the United States citizens on the
high seas should be in the slightest
degree contingent upon the conduct
Of any other government, affecting
rights of neutrals or non-combatants.
This part is IN reply 70 Gernany's
assertion that she would reserve com
plete liberty to change her decision
unless the United States is success
full in its efforts to break the British
blockade.
Lansing in a. statement tonight
said the greater part OF Germany's
note was devoted to matters the
United States could not discuss with
Berlin, but he considered Germany
had yielded to our representations. +"
He said, eve can have no reason to
quarrel with her."
