U S Stance on Lusitania Sinking Turbulent War Note
The United States asserts that regardless of German contentions about contraband or torpedoing the Lusitania, the sinking raises humanity concerns beyond diplomatic disputes. It decries the attack on a passenger liner with over a thousand noncombatants and states the U S will defend rights of humanity and neutral shipmasters against war zone restrictions. The note expresses readiness to aid in mediating with Britain and invites German use of U S good offices.
