Definite Decision to Restrict Use of Submarines
IMPORTANT FIVE-POWER AGREEMENI Sufficient in Itself to Justify Conference F Australian Press Assn.—United Servjfce, Received Wednesday, 8.5 p.ixu LCXNDON, Feb. 12. * Colonel H. L. Stimson, head of the American naval delegation, in a statement to the press concerning the plenary session, emphasised that there had been a definite decision and not a tentative one whereby the five Powers agreed to restrict the use of submarines against merchant ships to the same rules applying to surface vessels. “This single incident was worth the visit of the American delegation to London,” he said, “and marks a step in the matter which our country once went to war about. "I think the debate also showed a rising tide on the part of the nations for the eventual abolition of undersea craft. The happiest augury was that the motion to restrict the use of the submarine came from the French delegations.”
