ton announced, to adhere to the rules
and regulations regarding submarine

and Russia had been invited to send
official delegations to London for the
discussion of the limitation Of naval
armainents.

tions q better opportunity for dispos-
ing Of their production which is in

the world market.
Denies Macdonald Visit.
To his point-blank query as to
whether it was definitely decided that
Ramsay Macdonald. lord president of
the council. should visit the United
States, Baldwin commented. Some
rumor to that effect has been circu-
lated, but 1t is without foundation.
as most rumors are"
Regarding another economic con-
ference, the prime minister said, His
majesty's government. Is most anxious
all the time to do everything in its
power to stimulate the movement Of

gethers~a conference such rs sug-
eested."

tons announcement Of the German
submarine agreement.

London treaty was signed by Great
Britain, the United States. Japan

vides:.
"' . Except in case of persistent
refusal to stop on being duly sum-
moned. or of active resistance to visit
or search. warship, whether surface
vessel or submarine boat, may not sink
or render incapable of navigation a
merchant vessel without having first
placed her passengers, crew and ships
papers in place of safety. For this
purpose the ships boats are not re-
garded as a place of safety unless the
safety Of the passengers and crew Is

of land or the presence of another
vessel which is in position to take
them on board"
