jfagainst Germany canot be justified
even on the pica that it is a war in
'(Urfense of American rights or Amer
ican 'honor.' Ruthless as the un
restricted subhmarine war policy of
)ht German1 government was and is,
it is not an invasion of the rights of
the American people as such, but
only an interference with the op
portunity of certain groups of
'American capitalists to coin cold
'profits out of the blood and suffer
ing of our fellow men inhe war
ring countries of Europe."
