more than the spirit OF the London
Declaration. which. unfortunately. the
United States government hastily
agreed to abide by as its guide as a

The Declaration of London was
adopted by the International Naval
Conference. which was called by Great
Britain, and sat in London from DE.

II is noteworthy that Germany Is the
complainant OF the infractions OF the
Declaration by England and France,
and what she really objects to Is the
holding up of supplies consigned to
neutrals. but intended for German
use.
