THE TORPEDO " AS
BOUND TO COME

There should have been little that Was
surprising about the torpedo attack ON
the Kearny. 1t was. as Sen. NHe SAID,
'to be expected" There however, We
must end our agreement with the senator
Because it was the expected thing, We
see no reason why it should not be pun
iShed.
The President has ordered American
naval vessels to hunt down and 'ellml-
nate Axis raiders within the scope OF
the American naval patrol. In view OF
such an order, it is natural that amy
raiders which have ventured into the
patrol zone would shoot first. if they can.
at any American naval vessel they see.
For that reason, we see nothing startling
in the fact that an Axis submarine did
launch a torpedo at an American War-
ship.
On the other hand, only the greatest
sticklers for technicalties of written law
will deny that we are at present engaged
in an undeclared war within the limits
of the American naval patrol zone. Since
that is the fact, and since our ships have
already been ordered to "shoot on sight
then we see no reason to regard the kCar-
ny incident as anything more than
chapter in this undeclared war which is
already raging. 1t is not the beginning.
it will not be the end.
However, since things are as they are,
it seems not at all out of line to say that
the thing for our navy to do is live up
to the Presidents original. order and
"shoot first That's the safest way
now.
