GERMANY ALONE CAN PREVENT WAR

The German chancellor in a speech before the reich
stag yesterday insisted that Germany did not want war
with the United States had wanted it. and that if
war came Germany would not be responsible" This as
serOn does not square with Germanys actions especially
those in which she tried to ally Mexico and Japan against
u.s. 1t does not square with the sinking of ships without
warning and the taking of the lives of American citizens
does not square with the sinking of Belgian relief ships
carrying food generously provided for helpless people,
and this after solemn promise to give them safe pas
sage 1t does not square with the sinking of hospital
ship IN zones which Germany had announced were free
for such ships to travel 1t does not square with her acts
in hamperg the departure of the American ambassador
and the detention of the Americans taken in to her ports
on the YarrOwdae 1t does not square anywhere with
the truth. America wants with Germany or any
other nation She has shown patience that led Germany
perhaps into the belief would not resent anything she
might do. All America asks of Germany now is that
American citizens travel the seas and be accorded
the rights belonging to them under the laws of nations
She is not asking anything than that Germany
recognize international laws and regulate her conduct so
as to accord with them. When Germany does this all

it will not be removed until this is done.
