Germany says vessels sailing these waters do so at their own risk, with or without convoy, and asserts a broad Atlantic war zone reaching to Iceland and the U S. The tone repeats Hitler era warnings and threatens to sink any target, regardless of convoy status.

Roosevelt Declares Direct Convoys Not Planned
President Roosevelt outlined a far flung system of United States naval patrols to scout for aggressor war craft and warn of their presence. He stressed this patrol is not a convoy system and is an extension of the neutrality patrol to protect the western hemisphere. He compared it to wagon train scouts, noting they warn ahead of possible threats and would inform other vessels if danger is near. The plan’s exact role in assisting Britain remained unclear as questions about broader protective measures lingered.
