NEW YORK WORLD-There can
be- only one answer on the part of the
United States to the new German SUD-
marine proclamation and that answer
should be made today. The German
Ambassador must receive his pass
ports forthwith and diplomatic rea-
lions must cease at once. There
should be no procrastinauon until the
hand Of the United States government
is forced by premeditated murder and
depreciation.
We have made every concession to
Germany that self-respect Will per
nit, and all those concessions have
proved TO be in vain. To acQuiesce
lin a resupmtion of ruthless subna' :
line operations is TO subject ourselves
ITO the losses of war while deprlVinS
ourselves of the means of self defense.
That is intolerable., No peace IS
worth the price of abject national
humiliation and degradation. No pea =
is worth the surrender OF nation 5
sovereign rights.
If Germany wants war with the
United States, let Germany have war
with the United States. Our hands
are clean.
