...opposed to a consideration of the maritime warfare waged solely by one of the belligerents--unfortunately the view on which are based, apparently, the conclusions of the majority of those who undertake to judge Germany's submarine warfare. The proverbial American spirit of fair play would seem to warrant the application of a single standard of judgment to the conduct of the two belligerents whose present methods of warfare are affecting the vital interests of the United States on the sea.

A." writes a review of Professor Perry's recent essays which is only a degree, less violent than Mr. Wolf's handling...

The negatives' argument was based upon the contention that the present conditions do not warrant intervention and that the United States is neither duty bound or militarily able to intervene and achieve the desired result...
