DISFAVOR PURCHASE OF % GERMAN MERCHANT STEAMERS Great Britain, France and Russia Have So Advised United States. Washington, Aug. 31.—Great Britain, France and Russia have adyised the United States informally tRat they would look with disfavor on the pur- chase by this government of German merchant steamers to relieve condi- tions growing out of the European war and also to build up an American merchant marine. While now convey- ed in any diplomatic correspondencs, their position nevertheless has been vigorously set forth to President Wil= son and Secretary Bryan. France took the initiative, Ambassa- dor_Jusserand carrying his objections to President Wilson in his recent in- terview at the White House. Geéorge Bahkmeteff, the Russian ambassador, conferred with the British and French ambassadors today and later saw Sec- retary Bryan. All three diplomats held that there was no precedent in international law for the purchase by a neutral nation of any great quantity of ships from a belligerent. The chief objection urged is that the transaction would establish a = large gold credit in the hands of Germany. Salvador’s President Leaves Office.
