Stokes GREATLY PLEASED
WITH THE ARMS FARLEY

TRENTON, Feb. 3-Former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes is very
much pleased with the attitude of
the arms parley at Washington in
respect to the subject of subma-
rines. Especially so, because of his
having sent a telegram to Charles II.
Hughes, secretary of state, who was
a class mate of the former govern
or's, on January 1, advocating the
action which was later adopted by
these at the parley.
might it be suggested in connec-
ton with the submarine parley.' said
Governor Stokes in his January
| telegram to the secretary of state
confined to coast defense, and that
the radius of submarine action be
limited accordingly.
This would confine the use CT
submarines to defensive purposes
and would prevent their preying o.:
merchant ships at sea and Destroy
ing lives of non-combatants and
neutral trade and commerce"
This suggestion of Mr.. Stokes is
practically analogous to the me
adopted by the parley. AT the time
of the forwarding of this message
the administration was undecided as
to its course.
