LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SOLVES FREEDOM
OF SEAS, SAYS GREY
Former Foreign Secretary Says u.
S. and Britain Can Readily Reach
Agreement on Question.
TERM USED" BY GERMANS
By Associated Press to Every Evening

by assfsiateu bfsSs 10 EVERY bVenihf
Dewsbury, England, Dec. IA league
of nations is the solution To the question
of freedom of the seas and Great Britain
and the United States can reach com
plcte agreement on that question by
joining such league, declared Viscount
Grey, former foreign secretary, IN a
speech here tonight
The seas, the vlscount said, were free
in times of peace and Great Britain had
placed no restrictions upon them. Dur
ing the war the American navy had
aided the British navy in maintaining the
blockade aud Lord Grey thought 'he
United States would use the same weapon,
II necessity for 1t arose IN the future.
Without the blockade, he added Germany
might have won.
The term freedom of the seas he
continued, was American in origin and
had been adopted by the Germans for
their own purposes fie believed Pres
ident Wilson meant freedom of the seas
to all who joined a league al nations, bat
the phrase needed clearer definition.
NO DIFFICULTY oYER IT
.fThis is q matter which, it - feared,
may create difficulties between President
Wilson and the British government" he
said Il think 1t IS n great pity that 80
much has been said about the freedom Of
the seas without it being defined II is
true there is considerable prejudice
against the phrase, largely due to the
fact that it Is believed to be q German
phrase. !. It is not German. but American.
II was made in the United States and the
Germans adopted and used it for their
own purposes in q sense 10 which we have
never agreed Hence its unpopularty.
But until President Wilson defines il
and comes To discuss it with our govern
ment. there is no need to anticipate diff
fctllty about an agreement as to what IL
means.
FREF SEAS FOR EVERY NATION.
Freedom Of the seas in times Of peace2
If 50, VIC agree Wherever the British
navy has been in position 10 exercise its
influence and power on the seas in times
of peace, it has exercised that influence
irnpartially for the freedom Of the seas
for all nations without distinction. The
United States, think, has some rule for
bidding foreign ships 10 carry goods be-
tween the United States and the Philip
pines. Some other countries have similar
rules. We never had a regulation like
that We have been more completely for
the freedom Of the seas in times Of peace
than any other nation.
