To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We also discussed the position taken by the German Government in one of the Frye Notes, in which the German expert had taken the position that a cargo of food destined for an armed enemy port was presumed to be for the armies of the enemy, and therefore contraband. The Emperor spoke of the case of the Dacia with some bitterness, but when I went into an explanation the Chancellor joined in the conversation and said that our position was undoubt- edly correct. I said that it was not our business ...to break the blockade — that there were plenty of German agents in the United States who could send food ships and test the question; that one ship I knew of, the fnihelmina, laden with food, had been seized by the British, who then compromised with the owners, paying them, I believed, a large sum for the disputed cargo. And in taking up the doctrine of ultimate destination of goods, i. E. , goods sent to a neutral country but really destined for a bellig- erent, I said I thought that during our Civil War we had taken against Great Britain exactly the same stand which Great Britain now took; and I said I thought that one of the decisions of our Supreme Court was based on a shipment to Matamoras, Mexico, but which the Su- preme Court had decided was really for the Confederacy.
