respect the position of these govern
ments is different from that of the
United States because they have had
no opportunity to deliver to Berlin an
ultimatum as to their stand.
The President s note of warning in
the Sussex case was in effect an Ill
timatum to Berlin. 1t stated that if
illegal warfare by submarines continued
the United States would sever diplo-
matte relations. When the terms of
the American ultimatum We're violated
diplomatic relations were severed. but
neither Brazil nor Argentina has yet
had q Sussex case with Germany.
1t is understood, however, that the very
first act violating the interests of either
of these countries will be made the
occasion for an ultimatum.
News from Santiago, Chile, is TO the
effect that the Chilean government
virtually has warned Germany that any
hostile act to a Chilean ship will be
met with measures destined to protect
the republic s rights. Peru has made
a formal protest to Berlin, it is learned
and Uruguay has fatty declined to rec.
ognize Germany's unrestricted sub
