of the United States, England, France

smaller, submerged nations, now rising

problems. 1
Deal With Submarine Warfare
One of the matters destined te oc
cupy much time U that of "freedom
of the sea," This doctrine is nebu
lous now. Paris pies messages say, one
Ihn9e i of this subject will deal with
Hjbmnrinc warfare, proposing elimina
tion of Ul-boat sinkings of nil freight
dud passenger ships. While theoretic
wily there .will be no mure wars, this
sort of provision, if followed in a war,
would tend to shorten the struggle.
In the great wnr, for instance, had
Oermanv refrained from use of If-boats
except against strictly naval craft, the
rtuestion of supply and transport would.
Iiave been vastly . simplified and the
fillies would have been in a position
to end the conflict sooner than it was
finished. - - ,
