The arbitrary manner in which Aus
tria has conducted her negotiations
over the sinking of the Ancona, which
affair resulted in the death of several
American citizens, gives ground for the
suspicion that she would welcome a
breach of diplomatic relations with this
country. Germany's recent attitude of
delay regarding settlement of the Lusi-
tania affair might also indicate that
she shares her ally's view in this mat
ter. Owing to England's control of
the seas, the United States has been
unable to contribute much to the sup
port of Austria and Germany, in any
way, while our contributions to Great
Britain, France and Russia in produce
and munitions of war have been enor-
nous. A breach of diplomatic rela-
tions, which would doubtless result in
state of war, if not in actual conflict,
would give Germany and Austria a
chance to prey upon our commerce,
which under existing conditions might
be to their advantage. In the deluge
of war in which those countries find
themselves engaged they may figure
that to antagonize the United States
could not greatly affect them when the
final settlement is made.
