Referring to the >|iie.-tion of maritime law, which was included in the conference agenda, Mr Davis declared that German unrestricted submarine warfare not. only violated all the recognised canons of the lav. of nations, but the immortal rule of the sea itself, which gave every ship in distress the right, of assistance.
