It is felt that pro clamation of tbe Washington treaties might have some effect toward stabil izing the situation. For a somewhat different reason the delay over the submarine and gas warfare treaty Is a cause of re gret to officials here. It had been hoped at the time of the Washington conference that the doctrines laid down in that treaty as binding upon the signatories could be extended without delay to all other nations, adding a ne chapter to International law. That world progress cannot go forward, however, until the treaty has been ratified. Tbe submarine provisions of the ; treaty probably are of greater Impor tance to Great llrltain than to the . other signatories because of her geo-1 graphical situation.
