unobjectionable evidence, 1t will be

officially pointed out that submarine
warfare against merchant vessels will

There can be no talk of any re-

succeed in the future through surdid
manipulations in making use of Ger

strictions. Our agreement counts only
in case British passenger steamers do
not try to harm our submarines. If
Great Britain in the future believes it
will be possible to deal lightly with the

Through our step we have proved to
lAmericans-if 1t were necessary-in the
most loyal way, how highly we value
the relations existing between them
and US. 1t Is surely known in leading
circles in the United States that even a
declaration of war by America against
Germany could no longer do real harm
to the German cause"
