The fact that Germany requires Great Britain to cease operations which she terms contrary to international law was expected, and at first blush, officials were Inclined to accept Germany's request that this Gov- ernment undertake to bring about such a change as justifiable. It was pointed out that Germany has Issued the order that meets the President's contentions, If Germany later, because the United States falls to bring G Britain to meet the German contentions, reseinds the orders announced to-day, that will be a new Issne for the United States to face.
