II always has been this governments
attitude that violations which affect
property are not to be compared to
violations which affect life. the
warning is generally interpreted as
being directed therefore. chiefly
against the central powers. whose
submarines have not only endangered
American lives. but also have des-
troyed American property. in viola
tion Of all rules OF humanity and
warfare.
Officials. however, are trying to
not over-emphasize this phase. and
have already put this government on
record as not contemplating any
change in its neutral policy at this
time.
II Is believed that II Germany cuts
loose with her submarines. following
