But it added, 'neutrals cannot ex-
pect that Germany, forced to fight for
her existence, shall, for the sake OF
neutral interest restrict the use of an
effective weapon If her enemy is per-
mitted to continue to apply at will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such a demand
