WORKING OUT NEW
INTERNATIONAL CODE

washington. Jan. "a new IN
tcrnatlonal code to protect the I'D
erty OF neutrals." Ia being worked
out by leading North and South Am-
erican exports on the basis Of lessons
drawn from the present war,
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are tho original proponents.
Ways and means Of formulating
In terms the new principles win be
discussed at a meeting OF information
al lawyers at Havana January ~, the
United Press learned today.
German submarine warfare and
British commercial interference are
said TO be the main reasons behind
the move.
The new code" viii endeavor to
make Il impossible for the world ever
again to have q "I.usitania case" In
volving neutrals. II win try TO pre-
vent such trespasses on neutral rights
as England has practiced In her mail
seizures detention OF neutral ships
and the like.
II Is the contention OF Wilson and
Lansing that the present imperfect
code or rules" defining relations be-
tween belligercnts and neutrals re-
fleet over-appreciation Of the needs
OF the belligercnt."
They believe the process Of treating
the subject Of neutrality should be
reversed and dealt with from the
point OF view OF the neutral.
As a result Lansing some months
ago requested the American lnsti-
tute OF International law to study the
problem Of neutral rights and duties.
seeking 10 formulate In terms the
principle underlying relations OF be-
lligerency, to neutrality. father than
the express rules governing the con-
duct OF nation at war to a nation
at peace"
Today Il was learned a project
win be submitted January 20 at Ha-
vana as basis for approaching dis
cusslon OF wys and means to carry
out Lansing's suggestions.

the meeting OF the institute
In Havana which was called there at
the invitation Of the Cuban govern
men. Lansing recommended. how
ever. that the subject be divided into
two parts namely. "the rights Of neu-
trails on the high seas and the du-
ties OF neutrals dependent upon terri
torial Jurisdiction"
''The institute being composed OF
neutral nations. Is especially fitted
to do this work." Lansing said In
his communication. "and with the
definite purpose OF protecting the
liberty Of ncutrals from unjustified
restrictions on the high seas and the
imposition OF needless burdens In pre-
serving their neutrality on land"
II is pointed out today that the
presidents work Is not done for the
purpose Of enforcing any new code"
upon the belliserents. should the
present war continue. but to be put
forth when peace comes. as substl
tute for the present relations which
