WAR ON THE SEAS
THE RULE OF FORGE REVISION OF MARITIME LAWS URGED. WASHINGTON, February 21. Senator Borah introduced a resolution in the Senate calling for remodification of the international law governing the conduct of belligerents and neutrals in war on the sea. The resolution stated that the leading maritime Powers owe it to the cause of arms limitation and peace to bring about a revision of the maritime law before the Limitation Conference, scheduled for 1931. He declared that there were numerous departures from the rule of the maritime law in the late war, and remodification was necessary to relieve the present chaotic state of leaving the seas subject to no definite rules save that of force, and commerce to no protection save battle fleets.
