The questions of right which can be dis- cussed with that government are those arising out of its action or out of our own, and in no event those questions ‘which are the subject of diplomatic exchanges between and any other country. “The essence of the answer is that Germany yields to our representations in regard to the rights of merchant ships and non-combatants on the high seas and engages to observe the recog- nized rules of international law gov- erning naval warfare in using her sub- marines against merchant ships. long as she lives up to this aitered policy we can have no reason to quar- el with her on that score, though the losses resulting from the violation of American rights by German submarine commanders operating under the for- mer, policy will have to be settled. “While our difficulties with Great Britain cannot form a subject of dis- cussion with Germany, it should be stated that in our dealings with the British government we are acting as We are unquestionably bound to act in view of the explicif treaty engage- that government.
