taking any action. ..
The official text of the German govern

The significant statement was made in
highest official quarters today that no
definite action will be taken in the sub
marine matter for several days
This means that the administration
win not reach final conclusions at the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow, as had pre-
viously been indicated.
Another factor in preventing speedy
settlement of the issue with Germany
is the delay In arrival Of the British and
