that The recognized authorities disagree with the German
view every other country except Austria and Turkey
The neutral nations unit in supporting the American
contention that theig citizens may travel where their
interests upon the high call them"
The Of the matter is this: We neutrals maintain
that rights the high seas are nalenable. that
peace is the normal lawful affairs
the begeents carry the warfare there only by The
sunerance neutrals. Germany-and Great Britain to
less maintains that the bellgerents have
right to fight an the seas under whatever cond

The principle is plain enough II two men CUNNING
