SUBMARINE POLICY
GERMANY'S BROKEN BARGAIN
CLEAR EVIDENCE OF VIOLATION
(lIEUTEP.'S TELEGRAM.)
LONDON, 15th August.
In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Crewe said that since Germany promised America not to sink ships without warning, four British and three neutral vessels, and altogether forty-six lives, had been lost. This was a clear violation of the undertaking. There were other ca3es where a breach of the undertaking was highly probable, hut of which there was not definite proof.
The Marquis of Crewe said that when the Allies decided how to deal with the
situation the Government would make a declaration of policy. He feared that threats to punish individuals, or to confiscate German ships and money, would not persuade the German Government to desist from its practice of illgeally sinking international vessels.
