(WASHING ; ( TO.V BCRAU 0TIUC JOURNAL.) f Ofts eftha features of the Washington f f' conferencf that premise's to stand out m Important after many other features " hlcn may hsv Mumd nibr lmport " ant Kara faded out of mind Is the battle i, aver tha submarine. J While- tha American delegation stood . for tha' submarine m a legitimate weapon ot war. there was shown to be . considerable body of American opin 5 Ion In support of the British position S that ths submarlna shornd be outlawed. Broadly state, tha British position wu that It is nselwa to make rules under hlcJi tha submarine may be used In sr, because a nation hard pressed tn wr hlch seea a chance to win by ruth warfare Is almost sure to turn to frlgntfulnesa just as Germany did. TO C0TISU FIGHT a , After tha British proposal' was turned down, having no suDnort from anv other delegation, came the Root proposal that ina use or the submarine against mer , : chant ahipa aha.ll b forbidden. That will be a great step forward. If all the nations will adhere and put tha organ--Ised foree of world sentiment behind it . ; It is tll I subject to the objection that a nation rwVth Ita back to the" waU" will t . . aery th opinion of the world and "take - a chance on winning that war. Tha British have made it slain that they mean to keep on with the fight to mass ma submarlna an outlaw, because vary cnaracter or the craft lends It self to secret assassination. The ques tion Is to- be summoned- at every oppor tunity In the court of world opinion, in tha belief that, tha world can be brought o gna opinion. , ROOTAOBEES It was for this purpose thet the Brit ish Insisted upori a plenary session off tha conference, after their ausreatlon had Wen clubbed and shelved; in order mat the world might have the publicity mat must follow from a public presenta tion of the question. When Kllhu Root proponed a resolu tion against the use of submarines against merchant vessels, Mr. Balfour .was quick to propose that tha five now era assembled give their Immediate ad hesion to It i This la not to be binding upon them, of course, until It Is generally accepted: by other nations as a part of International law to be universally observed. Mr. Iloot. for the American deleratlon. agreed to give assenfon the part of the umiea mates. TEGES DEriXttK ACTIO in Ms remarks upon this resolution Mr. Root came to the point that must be in me. minds of many people. ' la the , conference to close after having fussed around with the limitation of canltal ships, with a few reforms In the saving r aoiiars, but without and aubttanttal accomplishment In the causa of peace T "Limitation Is .not the end. but only the means." said Mr. Root "It Is the belief of tha world that' this conference convened to promote the peace of the world, to relieve mankind of the horrors and Iba losses and the Intolerable hardens of war." ' Even more forcefully Renator Under wood stated his fueling that something , elose to meet tha expectations of the , peoples ot the world. ocld BisArroixT rcorLE "If we are here only to save dollars s ar other coins." he said, "the great heart of tha people of the world will be grlve cualy disappointed. Unless we can plant ' tha flag of civilisation on a higher point , unless this conference move forward j then wa will have made a failure." It la this feeling that some progress towara peacs aaould be reported that J . ; gtvsa substance to the movement againat j f tha use of the- submarine for attacking nwrcnani snips.
