In time of war - cof tmely questions as discussed in ‘ex- changes that come to Herald Where We Stand. (From Milwaukee Journal.) Let no mistake be made in regard | to America’s demand and her <posiz tion.. Everything that she asks of Germany 'she _has an absolute: right to @sk and. to receive under the law of nations. Her case in clear, strons, irrefutable. And it is just as certain that in what she demands of Great iBritain she insists upon the full mea~ isure of the rights, which the law of nations give her. In the one case she protests againét the illegal killing of sAmerican citizens, In the other case " she protests against the illegdl cap- ture, detention and confiscation - of American shipping. She stands open- 1y and resolutely against lawlessness, of all kinds on the water common to ‘the nations'of the earth. Violent agitators and- meek paci- fists alike occasionally apply such ‘terms as “legalism’ dnd’ “formalism” to America’s consistent course in up- holding the principles of internation- al law. Such use f .these térms shows crass ignoranCe' of the situa- tion, International law is the only thing that can save the world from’ anarchy. If po strong nation ' has the courage and conscience to sup- port the principles of international law, everything that has been done through the ages to mitigate the hor- rors of war, to make the innocent immune from slaughter, ‘to make civ-- ilization ‘a fact instead of a mere name, to advance:the standard ot society and the cause ‘of humanity, i3’ in pressing dangér of being swept away. ; * What is interpational law? One. writer defines it as ‘‘the rules which’ determinie the conduct of the general body ‘of civilized states in their mu- tual dealings.” It represents. the growth of the world sense of justice,! equity and morality. Between a.world in ‘which the nations should fail to uphold international law and a state or a community which should permit all’its laws to be set aside, theve would be no real difference. Anar- chism would prevail in either case. And so, in’calling Germany . and Great Britain to account, America is not’ only demanding respect for her own rights,’ but she is trying to pre- vent the repetition of acts that would make war inevitable, for in the ab- sence of emphatic protest and warn- ing, conditions would surely ' drift from bad to’ worse and become intol- erable. " Initaking her stand, Ameri- ca is serving, not her. own interests only, not the interests of. other neu- , tral nations only, but the cause ot | humanity, and, civilization—even the cause, in the'end, of the warring peo- ples themselves.
