To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Peaceful citizens of all countries and of both sexes have been foully murdered at the bidding of German militarism. Others have been muti- lated. Others have been exposed in open boats to the fury of the seas. It is strange that these matters should have been for- gotten. *' As to the merits of the Black List con- troversy, I have explained before that the Black List is an attempt to prevent British subjects tradmg with enemy firms or with firms that trade in the enemy interest. That the Swedis...h Prime Minister or any neutral should claim to compel British firms, when their country is engaged in a life and death 6 struggle, to help enemy trade, is a claim for which there is no precedent and which can- not be admitted. For the British Govern- ment to prevent its own subjects from helping the enemy, violates no rule of law, equity, or morals, and is an elementary precaution taken in the interests of national safety. " With regard to the commercial measures taken against trade with Germany through Sweden, Great Britain and her Allies are at one in their determination to use their naval forces for the purpose of preventing the im- port of goods to enemy countries.
