INTERNATIONAL LAW.
AMERICA’S DIFFERENCES.
U.S. AMBASSADOR’S PLEA.
(Received 31, 8.40 a.m.) London, May 29. The American Ambassador, Mr. Davis, addressing an International Law Conference meeting at Portsmouth urged that the American difference regarding the League of Nations should not be taken as evidence of. or unwillingness of, the United States to join the free people* of the world in establishing just rides for International conduct.
He argued that the advance of International law had been obstructed by two diametrically opposite schools of thought, namely extreme Nationalist and extreme internationalism.
Referring to the question of maritime law which is included in the agenda for the Conference, Mr. Davis declared that the German unrestricted submarine warfare not only violated all recognised canons of law of nations but the immemorial rule of the aea itself, which gave every ship in distress the right of assistance.—(A- and N.Z. and Reuter.)
KNOX’B PEACE RESOLUTION.
VETO NOT OVERRIDDEN.
Washington, May 28. The House of Representatives tailed by twenty-nine votes to secure the necjssary majority to override the President’s veto on the Knox peace resolu-tion.—-(Reuter).
