To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the old maritime laws, which the United States and Great Britain in particular have always recognized, fleets undoubtedly did interfere with the commerce of any enemy belligerents, and it is very difficult to see how that could or ought to be avoided until that happy time comes when war is neither on land nor sea per- mitted to interfere with private rights, or indeed per- mitted to go on at all. But, gentlemen, maritime warfare as it has been carried on by civilized nations in the past h...as been a human affair, carried out under recognized laws, under which as little injury was done to the neutral 222 BALFOUR, VIVIANI AND JOFFRE trader as was possible under the circumstances, com- pared to the abominations which are now insistent upon by the German staff. Huge tracts of ocean are marked out at the arbitrary will of one belligerent, and within these vast areas neutrals, peaceable trad- ers, do not merely have their ships taken in, adjudged in the prize court, dealt with, and non-belligerent life carefully regarded, but they are sunk at sea, no ex- amination, no knowledge of what is in the ship, no knowledge of the character of the crew, no knowledge of whether there are or are not passengers aboard, no knowledge of the goods which are being trans- ported, of the place from which they came or the destination designed.
