1 NEW YORK, Feb. til A. Nj
There can be no possible objection in
international law to German submar-
inc attacks on the merchantmen OF
the allies, as long as the crews OF the
trading ships are saved.
The method Of rescue is unimpor-
tant. The device of sending the
crews off in small boats is adequate
when near the coast, but its iustifca-
I tion when far at sea, cannot he de-
termined in advance.
The destruction Of the ships in the
Irish Channel was carried out under
strictly lawful conditions Of warfare.
but the French government suggests
no time allowance for saving life was
permitted when the Tokomaru was
sunk off Havre. Since, however. the
Tokomaru's crew was rescued by a
trawler there must be some confu
sion at Paris concerning the circum-
stances of the case.
The fact that part Of the Tokomaru's
cargo was destined for Belgian refu-
gees is not ground for protest
against the action of the German sub
marine. Certainly, the allies would
not permit a German merchantmen
to have the freedom Of the seas be-
cause her cargo was intended to re-
lieve distress in Belgium. The cir
cumstance is one of the many un-
fortunate facts Of war, but the alter
native, il ships Of all the belligerents
be in danger of destruction, is to use
neutral vessels for Belgian relief.
The practical effect of the German
under-sea raid is for the moment
negligible. The Germans have shown
that isolated attacks by submarines
on British vessels can be made off
any part OF the British coast. Theo-
fcticaliy, it has been proven that an
under-sea blockade Of England is pos
sible. But. the sinking Of four or
five merchantmen in which exploit
the element OF unexpectedness played
an important part. does not in itself
demonstrate the existence of block
ade. This can be done only by poll
ICY OF continuous success.
II is improbable that such a policy
can be carried out Even if mer-
chantmen are sunk without permit
ting the crews to escape. thus making
u unnecessary for the submarine to
rise to the surface, doubtless only a
modified reign of terror would re-
suit. Defensive measures are not
impossible 70 devise. among which
