SUBMARINE ACTIVITY
WILL BE DISCUSSED
AT RIO CONFERNCE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 29.—
Oneof the issues of the World War
and of the Washington Arms Confer
ence of 1921 has been revived for
discussion at the Pan-American con
ference of jurists, to be held some
time this year at Rio de Janeiro.
Application to submarines of rigid
rules of visit and search is contem
plated in the draft convention on
maritime neutrality prepared for con
sideration at Rio as a pa-rt of a cod
ification of American international
law.
“Belligerent submarines are not un
der any circumstances exempt from
the rules,” says the draft convention,
after specifying that merchant craft
overhauled by war vessels may not
be attacked except on refusal to sub
mit to visit and search after warning,
or when they refuse to proceed as di
rected after seizure. “If a subma
rine can not capture a merchant
vessel in conformity with these rules
existing international law requires
it to desist from attack and from
seizure and to permit the latter to
continue on its way.”
The rules also specify that merch
ant ships may not “be rendered un
seaworthy until crew and passen
gers have been first placed in safe
ity.”
There are 29 articles in the pro
posed convention which the pream
ble says is “necessary to safeguard
especially commercial freedom and
to relieve neutrals of the useless
burden and responsibilities under
which they labor today in observance
of maritime neutrality.’’ The rights
and duties of neutrals covering prize
rules, internment and other matters
are set forth, but chief interest lies
in an appended clause headed “The
American republics express the fol
lowing voeux.” The French word is
translated variously in diplomatic us
age to mean “hopes” or “recommen
dations.” Among states which fol
low are:
“That it be formally forbidden to
maintain commercial blockade, in
any manner whatsoever, of the ports
of belligerents and the maritime
zones bathing their own costs.
“The inviolability of private prop
erty at sea; merchant ships of bel
ligerents as well as of neutrals must
in no case be subject to confisca
tion, and still less be sunk for any
reason or pretext whatsoever. If
the said ships carry contraband of
war, the latter shall be either con
fiscated or destroyed by the captor.
“That the right of search be abol
ished and that it be established that
the local authorities of each Ameri
can republic shall vise the papers of
merchant ships which depart from
the said republic destined for a bel
ligenent port. Belligerent ships can
not stop the merchant ships of neu
tral American republics or those be
longing to the other belligerent
except to demand the production of
the ship’s papers thus vised. Bel
ligerent ships may, in spite of the
regularity of said papers, proceed
to search the merchant ships. If
it results from the search of the
ship that the ship does not carry con
traband of war, the searching ship
may be condemned to pay compen
sation for the injury caused. If the
ship searched carries contraband, the
American republic whose authori
ties have vised the false passport
must pay compensation. If the ships
are not furnished with papers duly
vised, they may be searched accord
ing to existing international prac
tice without occasioning indemnity.”
STEPS TAKEN TO EFFECT
BETTER LIGHTING SCHOOLS
NEW YORK, Apr. 29.—The Nation
al Committee for the Prevention of
Blindness, seeking tile protection of
school children from eye strain, is
undertaking to acquaint every school
teacher in the United States with
the principles of correct lighting. To
this end it will send to the super
intendent of schools in every state
county and city having a school pop
ulation of 25,000 or more a commu
nication based on the code of light
ing school buildings prepared by ex
perts, and approved as the American
standard.
The committee says its studies in
dicate that 12 per cent of American
school children have defective vision.
Pat Crowe, the bandit who kidnap
ped little Eddie Cudahy a few years
ago, is now a reformer and a lectur
er. Even so, some will contend that
he has only transferred his activities
to a safer and more respectable field
of banditry.
It may be noted that whatever gov
ernment paternalism is exercised in
Canada is usually of a practical na
ture, a recent proposition being one
to furnish seed grain and seed pota
toes on credit to aid farmery in unor
ganized territory who are in distress.
