One Month ‘ow York as Second-Claen Matter, For Fneland and the Continent an@ All Countries In the Thternational One Year. 01 One Month THE STATUS OF MERCHANT VESSELS. HE United States Government yesterday “informed” impar- tially all whom it may concern as to its views regarding the status of armed merchunt vessela, e It recognizes distinctly the right of a merchant ship to arm f{taelf for protection without thereby losing its claim to immunity from submarine attack without warning. Only when engaged constantly or intermittently in aggressive pursuit of enemy ships does @ veese) 60 armed lose ite standing ae a peaceful merchantman, Once, however, it has acquired the “hostile taint,” neither Americans nor other neus trale can expect to be any more immuno on it than they would be on ® warship. This is straightforward and elmple, Tt etictks consistently to in-' ternational law as now recognized. We give Germany an exact defini tion before she has a chance to play for further time by asking for it, Be it noted, however, the statement cnrries the following: A neutral Government may proceed upon prefimption that an armed merchant vessel of belligerent nationality te armed | for aggression, while @ belligerent should proceed on the pre- sumption that the vessel fs armed for protection, | The almost inevitable chances of mistake, together with the extra| Fesponsibilities put upon neutrals by the above proposition, must con- vince us more than ever how much better it would be to draw a hard and fast line that should put only unarmed vessele in the immune) class, The surest claim of a merchant ship to protection on sea and also its best guarantee in a neutral port is its complete defenseloasness. Let us not forget that even while consistently and resolutely up- holding international law as it finds it, the United States Govern- ment nevertheless made an effort to persuade helligerents to simplify the solution of the new problem created by the submarine by agrooing to disarm all merchant ships. If such an agreement had been in force in the beginning Germany could not have fenced long with indictments. Ono of the saddest processions we have ever deheld ts tho effort of the Tribune to put salt on tho tall of the Roosevelt boom! oy NOT SO NEW TO US. HE London Times fears that censored reports of the Aisturb- ances in Ireland may play into the hands of the German societies and Irish eocietios in America which “have been working hand in glove to prejudice opinion against Great Britain.” “Jf the Cabinet tries to hush up any part of the truth or confine the intelligence reaching America to official communt- cations doled out by themselves, the German and Irish agencies | | in the United States will have a free field for thelr malign | activities.” | Not quite. Even with only conaored despatches upon which to base an opinion, most Americans can arrive at a pretty shrewd notion of what has really happened in Ireland. The Times forgets that this nation has been having excellent opportunities to study, at first hand, effects produced by German propaganda backed by German money. In the past year the American public has Jearned a lot about If they have dared to go so far even in this country, what must havo been their opportunities in Ireland! — By Roy L.
