The note shows Germany pledging to abandon submarine warfare with conditions. Officials differ on whether diplomatic relations should break now or wait for British compliance. The President will decide next week after cabinet review and reading editorials.
Editorials across the country mostly find the German note unsatisfactory yet some papers think it may avert a break in diplomacy. They note the move seeks to balance U S demands with German national pride and internal sentiment.
Across many papers, editors assess Berlin's submarine pledge as evasive or inadequate. They warn of possible rupture or delay, urging the United States to stand firm if Britain blockades continues and diplomacy fails.
George Sylvester Viereck editor of the Fatherland lauds Germanys reply as dignified and just. He says it meets Wilsons demands while contradicting US contentions and urges the president to translate ideals into deeds to end the carnage within 56 hours. He warns England cannot rely on US aid as a vassal and urges a prompt ultimatum to England.
Berlin views Germany’s reply to Wilson as an unqualified yielding to U S demands on submarine warfare. The press notes the note avoids a diplomatic break and signals Germany’s desire to prevent war while restricting U boat activity. German critics fear concessions but acknowledge a firm tone overall.
London papers mock Germany's note to the United States as a calculated bluff and demand for time. Editors describe the reply as insolent and disingenuous, claiming it evades American demands and seeks to pressure the US into aiding Germany at sea.
