A POINT TO REMEMBER
Under international law any nation is entitled to ply
the seas at — With one exception If one nation at
war with another has established an effective blockade
then the other nations may not ship to blockaded coun-
tries If they do so it is at their own risk and they may
not claim damages When boats are captured or sunk
This law has been handed down to ns through the cen-
turies and is known a8 the freedom of the seas
When the war in Europe broke out congress at the
suggestion of the presid t nt passed the neutrality act
which forbid American ships sailing into danger zons
The act was unprecedented but in no Way did it abrogate
the old international law We still may sail the seas so
long as xve don't try to ship goods into blockaded coun-
tries 'Whether or not a country is actually blockaded is
a question of fact
Do date England has purchased goods in this country
and shipped them in lity own ships or those of other
nations But such shipping is being sent to the bottom in
increasing numbers Soon him question will have to be
decided as to win ther or not We shall eOnvoy ottr own
merchant ships to Britain Tho tlermans too it should be
remembered are trying to establish a blockade of the
British Isles They insist that it has been established
They vill contintie to try to sink all ships bound for Eng-
land and to seize other ships bound for neutral ports If
the ships are COnVoyed they vitt attempt to destroy the
convoys — and that moans war The administration at
Washington has not stated what policy it ‘Vill foroW
Any decision will be serious It might In' dangerous NV e
should know the facts anti be prepared l() face them—

ON ROOSEVELT TALK
Berlin Mar 17—t(P)--The Ger-
man press Monday opened a major
Nazi propaganda barrage against
President Roosevult's British aid
speech
They gave the attack the most
sensational treatment of any di-
rected against the U S in at least
six months
Official quarters said the press
comment would constitute Ger-
many's reply to Mr Roosevelt
The line of attack was laid down
by Propaganda Nlinister Ooebbels
newspaper which said "Roosevelt
behaved in this speech like a bull
In a china shop
"America and the world reCog-
nizes" the paper said "that
Roosevelt purchased his third
