Berlin gave no indication of a reply while Count von Bernstorff asserted Germany seeks to protect neutral shipping and uphold the declaration of London, blaming Britain for violating international law by starving noncombatants.

A Wilhelmina seizure debate follows Page’s guidance. The Arabic sails safely under the British flag as a German inquiry continues.
