interpretation of international law should be a warning to ufc not to go too far in condemnation of nets which we assume to be violations They may in fact not be Violations Interpretation of laws is largely a question of point of view state of mind may emphasize a point which amounts to but little in the opinion-of another even a friend England professes not to believe that her orders in council are contrary to the spirit of inter-ational law but merely require a new application Germany believes her submarine attacks are justifiable under the terms of international law Ungitn believes there is no violation of international law in the heavy shipments of munitions to her from the United States Germany believes the nwwmiit has reached a point where neutrality is violated Thus it ever is In all wars these questions arise Frequently they are not settled until long after war ends Alleged violations have led to foolish wars The law evidently is 'cloudy Doubtful interpretation bids delay calmness and careful consideration meantime pressing without heat the demands which we believe to be right but which after all we may find to be contrary to the opinion of a majority of the i powers
