Washington figures discuss the latest American note to Germany on safeguarding vessels and lives. Officials expect Germany to wait for Meyer Gerdh before replying, while Bryan’s role draws scrutiny amid hopes for a conciliatory, dignified answer.
The note, dated June 9 1915 from Secretary of State Lansing to the German government, asserts humanitarian principles in naval warfare, rebukes German claims about Lusitania, and demands assurances that American lives and ships will be safeguarded. It emphasizes neutrality duties, contraband rules, and the duty to protect noncombatants while seeking a peaceful understanding to mitigate the war at sea.
Former Secretary of State William J. Bryan issues a supplementary statement on U S German relations. He argues force versus persuasion as two rival systems and urges continued negotiations for an amicable understanding while condemning the old system that leads to war. He calls for leadership toward lasting peace through love and restraint.
