While no submarine.-: have appeared in the Pacific so far, British naval experts have said that information in the hands of the admiralty and the exploit of the U-Ö3 In Its raid off th New Finnland coast indicate that it iv quite possible that they will operate there later. There are no canal regulations imposing special restrictions upon vessels armed purely for defensive purposes, as the United States holds that such armament does not deprive a ship of her character as a peaceful merchantman.
