London, Dec. 22.
The German policy of scuttling ships is possibly due to the expecta-Yon that the Reich's methods may again bring the neutrals into the war against her, declares a special commentary today.
Uruguay, it says, might j ifiably seize interned German merchant ships to compensate the damage done to Montevideo by the pocket-battleship Admiral Graf Spee, which was scut-fled in the shipping channel leading to the harbour.
The bottom of the sea, therefore, the commentary adds, is the safest place for German merchant vessels.—Reuter,
