The latter document was submitted by gentlemen who are members both of the Scandinavian Committees and this sub- committee. They stated that in preparing their draft they had before them and took into careful consideration the draft of the London Commission.
**(3) Draft codes prepared in various countries, principally in Holland, France and Italy.

(1) Whether a general international code is both desirable and practicable.
(2) If so, whether it should be a'coñe of law or a code such as the York-Antwerp Rules, which should be incorporated in commercial contracta.,
(3) If the answer to the first question is in the negative, whether an attempt should be made to secure grester interna- tional uniformity of law by giving attention to particular subjects and framing a short draft convention on those points.
"(4) In that case might the following subjects usefully form the subject of such a draft"
A ̈DETAILED QUESTIONNAIRE.
The sub-committee then considered various selected questions and elaborated the following detailed questionnaire:--- 1.-Carrier's Obligation to put Ship in a Condition of Beaworthiness (to provide seaworthy ship).
Should the provisions of Arts. 8, 8ect. 1. and 4, Sect 1 of the International Conven- tion upon bills of lading be extended to cover contracts of affreightment which are not within the scope of the said convention? II-Besponsibility of the Shipowner towards Bill of Lading Holders or Subcharterers.
(a) As to the question of unseaworthiness of the ship,the sub-committee has examined the three following ideas: (1) The ship- owner incurs no further responsibility. when he has once discharged his initial daty in regard to seaworthiness at the commencement of the charter. (2) The shipowner is responsible to holders of bills of lading in respect of unsen wor- thiness understood in the strict sense of inability to keep the sea. (3) The ship- owner is responsible in every case in which the charterer is himself responsible to the holder or the bill of lading. Which of these three views should be adopted? If the responsibility of the abipowner should be preserved, should it be a joint and several responsibility or a responsibility in defanit on the part of the carrier?" "
QUESTIONS OF DISTINCTION. (b) "As to the acts of the captain. (1) Is the shipowner responsible for these acta and to what extent? (2) Should there be a distinction between commercial errors and nautical errors? (3) Should there be a distinction according to whether the captain is appointed by the owner or by the. charterer, and whether or not the charter amounts to a demise? (4) If distinctions are to be made, how should the provisions the International Convention be applied.
as regards the lien upon the ship in respect of claims arising from the bill of lading?
(c) Would it be possible to adopt a single rule to apply to all matters of conflict, or would it be more suitable to make "distinc- tions between different parts of the contract of carriage?
