some foreign governments are in
clined to object to harboring Am
erican armed merchant ships. this
government has inquired Of the
European nations whether they
would agree to admit the vessels.
None OF the nations queried has
replied. The United States holds that
II has the full right to harborage
for It's armed craft. It would even,
have the right to send a warship iu-
to foreign harbor. inasmuch as
this government is still neutral.
Foreign objections have not been
made openly, hut that some OF tho
nations we're really inclined to pre-
vent harborage OF the American arm
ed merchant ships was evidenced
from the state department attitude
today. German influence may have
been exerted on some Of the govern
