Washington, d. C--The entente al
lies have agreed to inform the United
States that they cannot accept the pro-
posal in Secretary Lansing's recent
circular memorandum that modus
vivendi be entered into for the disarm-
ament Of belligerent-owned merchant
ships. Conferences between the allies
on this subject have ended and formal
replies are expected in the near future.
Advices to the State department
from the embassies at London, Paris
and Rome some time ago made it APP
parent that the disarmament plan had
met with no favor, and the department
has been proceeding on the assumption
that it would be rejected.
The United States does not question
the right and international law of mer-
chantmen to arm for defense. Dis
armament by agreement was proposed
purely ~ humanitarian expedient on
account of the development Of subma-
