In which nineteen AmO cans

We had not obtained repara-

MAINTENANCE OF

Had this Government by the
use OF both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities Ieft no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
eisely what we said, and that
We should unh.sitatlngly vIndi.
cate that position. I am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking Of the Lusitanla.
There. we had ample notice; In
fact. published notice. Further.
mere, we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
netIee. Instead OF whittlino
away our formal statements by
equlvoeal conversations, we need.
ed the straight, direct and dc.

cry diplomat and foreign office
would understand. believe
that in this way we should have
been spared the repeated a.
sau'ts on American lives. More
