marines.
The note reasserts the principles on
which the United States intends to
stand and makes Germany's conduct
of her submarine operations In the
future the test OF the relations that
are TO exist between the two govern.
ments.
The note will be marked by its brew
ity and will carry tone of finality
that will demonstrate the conviction
on the part of this government that
further discussions of the submarine
issue along the lines of the last two
months seems futile.
The note will make II clear to Ger.
many that the future relations be.
tween the two governments will de-
pend upon her observance of the prin.
ciples of international law upon which
this government has stood from the
first.
There Is no hint as to what course
the United States may see fit to adopt
In support OF this note. In fact, the
president and his advisers have been
content to draft the note leaving &c
future developments a decision as to
the step that shall follow IL Germany
persists in her attacks upon American
lives
