B This would not be war, but merely self-defense H, against a sea looter. It seems that Great Britain Hi cannot outgrow her old habit of trying to bulldoze H every nation on the sea. Next wheat and flour K will be , declared contraband. Between Great H Britain and Germany neutral nations will soon be Hj obliged to refrain from sailing any ships until the Hj war shall be over. |
