INTERNATIONAL LAW
0 AMERICA WILLING TO ASSIST IN ESTABLISHING JUST RULES ADVANCE OBSTRUCTED BY EXTREMISTS By Telegraph-Press Associatlon-Oopyrighl London, May 29. The American Ambassador, Mr. John W. Davis, addressing the International Law Conference at its meeting in Portsmouth, urged that American differences regarding the League of Nations should not be taken as evidence of Hie unwillingness of tho United States to join the free peoples of the world in establishing iust rules for international conduct. He argued that tho advance of international law had been obstructed by two diametrically opposite schools of thought, the extreme Nationalists and the extreme Internationalists. Keferring to the question of maritime law which was included in tho agenda of the conference, Mr. Davis declared that the German system of unrestricted submarine warfare violated not only all the recognised canons of tho law of nations, but tho immemorial rule of tho sea itself, which gave every ship in distress the right of assistance.—Aus.N.Z.
