If republicans ut-, j tack President Wilson 's submarine poli- j cies in the forthcoming political cam puign,, American Ambassador Gerard 1 j may stump the United States in sup j port of the executive, it was broadly hinted today. He plans to visit America before the June convention, nud if he finds Wilson under fire for his dealings with tier many he may explain to the country a few things about the submarine contro versies which, the people do not know now. Ucrnrd also expects to urge a tariff at least high enough to .-dint out cheap products with which he is convinced Kurope is preparing to flood the United States after the war. He may also ad vocate a tariff commission, to which tlie president is already committed. In addition to these moves, tho envoy may explain why Germany thought at the bpgiiiuning of the submarine con troversy that America was "bluffing" in her demands. Gerard tried for some weeks to im press German officials with the serious ness of the situation. .Meanwhile the then Austrian Ambassador Dumba in formed tho Vienna foreign office that Secretary Bryan assured him that Am erica would never take strong action against Germany. In turn, Vienna in- ormcu iierliu or this report, and For eign Secretary Von Jaguw told Gerard about it. Then to add to the complications, a man from Illinois with credentials from Bryan, arrived at Berlin, met many officials and assured them that 1 'resi- dent Wilson was writing the submarine nores ror "nome consumption." I Gerard 's views 'as to theso moves were given to Colonel House during his visit here as the president 's personal envoy.
