y Problem Solved


Z ROM the beginning of the peace confer
ence that body has been in acute disagree
ment over the disposition Of the German war
fleet. This splendid armament WAS sur
rendered when the armisticc went into effect.
II was sent to British waters for saiekeeping
II was left in the hands of enemy caretakers.
but it was never dreamed that an enemy flag
would ever again fly over one OF the men-of
war. Every possible plan for Kidding the
world Of this armada was considered In Paris.
The American delegates, letting ii be known
that under no circumstances would this coun
try claim a single one of the ships, argued for
their burial at sea. The Americans felt that
the sinking Of the whole feet would be the
simplest possible means OF settling the ques-
ton of its future.
The British and the French opposed this.
They wanted the ships distributed among the
allied powers. They wanted them converted
into British and French and Italian fighting
craft. They wanted to be able to parade them
before tho eyes of Il defeated enemy as
solemn warning against future excursions by
Germany. Naturally, they wanted to increase
their own sea power, TO replace the warships
they had lost in the war and to relieve them
selves Of the necessity of large naval con-
strnction programs for the next few years at
least.
There was nothing inherently unreasonable
in this view, and the American commissioners
were willing to stand aside and allow the
European powers to appropriate the German
craft, II any possible basis of distribution
could be found. After six months of debate,
1t was admitted that no plan had been found
agreeable to all parties, and when the peace
treaty was drafted no disposition of the Ger
man ships was provided for.
The German crews have answered the ques-
ton. They have opened the seacocks and
sunk all but of the larger craft. This
may have been a typical German trick and
may be even IAN act of war as the British
journals described it, but friendly and sympa-
thetic as they are. Americans will not be able
t. lose much sleep over the foul means en-
ployed by the enemy crews in sending the
ships TO the bottom of Scapa Flow. Most peo-
pie in this country will feel that the best
thing that could happen to the German fleet
has happened.
1t is not at all surprising, however, that
there should be indignation in Great Britain
over this thing. The British had relied upon
the absorption of most of the more powerful
German ships into their own navy They
talked freely OF this at the time Secretary
Daniels was urging Congress to provide for
an American feet the equal of any in the
world. The British pointed to the expected
REINFORCE ment OF their own navy at the ex-
pense of the Germans to show how foolish it
would be for America 10 seek to overtakc
Great Britain in power.
The British government is being over
wheimed with criticism for being so gulible
as to trust the German crews. There is
storm Of censure at home, but after Il while
it will pass away, and the British may soon
agree that a cause Of possible dscord between
them and their allies has been provdentially
removed.
