Authorized German quarters today described President Roosevelt's at- titude toward the sinking at sea of the American- -owned freighter Pink Star as "Wild West justice rather than international law"
 The Presidents statement that the Pink Star carried 8 gun and flew the Panama flag was cited as confirming the entirely correct pro- cedure" of the U-boat which tor- pedoed 1t. The fact that the Pink Star travelled in convoy also was cited and authorized quarters said, naturally ships travelling in an armed enemy convoy will be shot,"
 German authorized quarters, refer ring to President Roosevelt's com- ments on arming merchant ships, said such action would mean re- zeal of the neutrality act and would affect other related questions"
 Related questions" it was said. "could cover anything from A to c."
 These contemplated actions of President Roosevelt have had the way paved for them by Senator Claude Pepper and Secretaries Cor dell Hull and Frank Knox, 1t was said.
