mary Of what MIR. Lansing old Count
Won Bernstorff at his conference with thu
latter yesterday.
This summary sets forth the American
position as follows:
That any settlement Of the Lusi-
tania case O~ecessarily depends OH
how Germany intends TO conduct her
future submarine warfare.
That the United States Is disposed
to regard the German declaration OF
intention to sink armed enemy liners
without warning as multiplying pre-
vious German assurances TO the
United States. INT for that reason
the United States has seen tit to ask
such modification OF the new German
declaration ~ viii, completely re-
move this doubt.
That whereas the United States In
its memorandum to the Entente Pow
ers expressed the opinion that mer-
chant vessels carrying armament az.
sumcd the character Of w%arships.
nevertheless in the event Of u failure
on the part Of the Entente Powers to
agree to disarm their ships the United
States would not presume to renounc
the law as IL stands. but was pre-
pared to stand by the legal right OF
merchant ships to arm for defence.
Developments to-day indicated tina
Secretary Lansing's recent memoran
dun to the belligerents is going TO sti
up a violent controversy in Congress.
