y I'll The reference to avoiding war is
taken as an Indication that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had prior knowledge
of his governments intention to pro-
marine warfare and that he was
equally confident that; the United
States government could not easily be
splacated by mere promises. The Ger
man announcement of its intention to
expand its submarine activities was
4 not made public until January 81,

4 by the determinati ton to remove all
restrictions but by, the statement that
