Governments Spokesman On Interna-

That Guns &c Provided for
Vessels for Defense

Washington, Feb. 13-The United
States has fatty rejected Germany's
offer TO discuss differences between
the two nations while the ruthless
submarine campaign is in progress.
In view of the fact that the United
States has taken the most vigorous
course possible short of war TO de-
nounce the ruthless submarine war
fare. officials of the government re-
gard the German proposal to negoti-
ate while the campaign is in progress
as utterly insincere. From the first
the move has been looked upon and
resented as piece of propaganda de-
signed TO becloud the issue and put
the United States in a false position
of belligerency.
The question OF whether guns shall
be secured for American ship owners
desiring to arm their vessels for de
Tense against submarines has been
submitted TO President Wilson by the
state and navy departments. It is
understood at the navy department
that the government spokesman on
international problems has recon-
mended that the guns be provided.
There is said TO be no authority under
which the navy department can act
ually supply the guns. though there
are precedents for the loaning OF wea-
pons under bond for their return. Tn
der the existing law only condemned
guns and stores can be sold by the
navy.
