The whole question, in the minds
of many officials, seemed to hinge on
whether Germany again violates the
rights for which the United States
contends. 1t was recognized that
since the negotiations began German
summarizes have given warnings, as
in the cases of the Armenian and the

any further destruction of American
life in contravention of law would
bring the situation to a sharp and
critical stage, which would make diff

some officials, to offer a possible OBJ

for a disavowal of the act and receiy-
