Submarine Warfare
(NeW York Times)

(New York Times)
 Germany has followed the Altmark affair with threat that recalls the historic decree of ruthless submarine warfare in January, 1917 The German News Agency announces that because of the new British order to arm all merchant ships Germany will obviously no longer be bound by the London submarine agreement and will wage unrestricted sea warfare against all British vessels.
 Whether or not this is merely threat-and later dispatches indicate that change in policy may await a test case"-the world can well ask what Germany has been doing since September 3, 1939 but wagng unrestricted warfare where it suited her to do Assuming the Germans do, that Winston Churchill sank the Athenia, did MT. Churchill also sink more than 150 neutral vessels which have gone to the bottom in this war? At the beginning of this month 205 Swedish seamen and BAT Norwegans had lost their lives through German mines or torpedoes; would all of these have been drowned would grief have been brought into so many neutral homes if Germany had given them a chance to escape as the rules of submarine fare prescribed?
 Last month the British rescued half-dead Danish officer who had been adrft 32 hours in icy seas. He said that his ship the 2,767-ton England had torpedoed without warning and all his mates had perished About the time lifeboat orig finally holding eight men from the tiny Norwegian freighter Faro was washed ashore on the British coast with still breathing and three others dead of cold and exposure. If this is the sort of restricted" warfare Germany has been waging at sea- the latest threat is meaningless It is fair game in war for German submarines to sink Brit ish destroyer like the Daring, which went down Sunday with probable loss of 157 lives It is with in the rules of civilized warfare for them to give warning before sinking merchant ship and to give the crew reasonable chance to reach land safely. Anything else is murder The German record of nhumanity in this war is long enough already with out the addition of horrors.

Franklin himself made clear that
thrift does not involve misery
boarding. As one Of his bog
raphers says:
He was not the father Of q
penurious. cheese-psring philos-
ophy. His observations on human
life and upon the methods by which
affluence and ease are to be wrest-
ed from the grasp of poverty are
always sagacious.' This was proved
by his own career, because a. soon
as he provided a sufficient fortune
for the reasonable wants Of his
family, at the age Of AZ he de-
liberately retired from business
pursuits and devoted himself TO
reading, scientific research. public
usefulness. and schemes Of bene-
ficence.'
