Freedom of the Sea Demands Respect from Germany
The state department cabled a note to Berlin urging Germany to respect American rights on the high seas. It cites the sinking of the Falaba Lusitania Gunflight and the attack on Cushing, demanding disavowal and prompt action to end submarine warfare against neutrals. The note stresses that warning or reparation cannot justify violations of international law and neutrals' rights. It also condemns a German embassy warning ad as irregular and not a justification for unlawful acts.
