The German and English Notes.

There Is one, funda mental differ
ence between oCr controversy over
shipping with Germany and the con-
troyersy with England" says an edi-
torial in the Worlds Work. I'm the
controversy with Germany. even the
Kaiser's Government has not gainsaid
that we had international law and
treaties on our side. But their argu-
ment has been that the law and the
treaties wre not reasonable In the
present circumstances. The question
c"me down to whether or not the law
and the treaties were to be respected.
I'm the controversy with England
the British Government has not an
nounced that Ii would do as 1t pleased
regardless of International law and
treaties. II rests its case on law just
as we do ours In other words, Eng
land is willing to have legal con-
troversy. while Germany Immediately
Tried to remove our controversy with
her beyond the realms of law"
