statement from the Government, pub
lished yesterday, regarding the sale of
weapons and ammunition to the Allies by
citizens OF the United States The Tage-
blatt declares that Americas reputation
in affairs of political morals is at stake
for the future and the tone of the rest
of the editorial is similar.
The statement published by the North
German Gazette referring to a memoran-
dunn of the German Government stated
that while this admitted that "the pre-
Yailins principles of international law do
not entitle Germany to oppose supplying
OF war material to its enemies by neutral
private persons. the trade in war material
with England and France has assumed
such dimensions as to jeopardize the neu-
tfalty not only of the American Govern
ment, but, indeed, of the American ma
tion."
