she has declared do SO at their own
risk, it is admitted that very serious
situation will be presented.
In tat case the United States would
be confronted with the alternative
either of warning its merchant vessels
to keep out of the declared war zone
or run the risk of a disaster which
would inflame public sentiment in this
country.
1t is evident from the American
note that the government does not
intend to warn its vessels to keep out
of the war zone, no matter what Ger.
many's attitude may be, but will insist
upon their right to traverse the de-
clared zone without danger of attack
If attack should be threatened
through the position which Germany
will take, then the question would
arise as to what steps the United
States should take to insure the safe
voyage of its merchant vessels.
The expert opinion is that in such
circumstances the United States would
be forced to furnish a naval convoy
| for all United States merchant yes
sells which entered the declared sea
war zone.
Neutrality Situation Changes.
The taking of American war vessels
into the war zone undoubtedly would
be grave step, but in no other way
could the safe passage of American
merchant vessels be assured
The neutrality situation appears tC
have undergone a complete change
Heretofore the situation has been tha
partisans of both Germany and Grea
Britain have been complaining tha
the United States was not maintaining
a strict neutrality.
Now the United States government
is officially representing to both Grea
Britain and Germany that their prac
tices and declarations are interfering
with the neutral rights of the United
States in such manner as may shak'
the strict neutrality which the United
States is anxious to maintain.
