Excerpt from American Rights British Pretensions on the Seas: The Facts and the Documents, Official and Other, Bearing Upon the Present Attitude of Great Britain Toward the Commerce of the United States The people of the United States have spent a great deal of breath in discussing the respective merits and interests of the nations at war in Europe. Is it not time for us to give our attention seriously to our own interests, as they are affected by the struggle? It is an easier mental exercise, a more engaging diversion, unquestionably, to follow the fortunes of opposing armies, as displayed in the morning papers day by day, than it is to study the unromantic subject of the treatment which American interests are receiving at the hands of the belligerents. Yet, after all, the question whether Roumania sides with the British Allies or with the Teutons, whether Bulgaria or Servia gets Macedonia, whether Germany retains or gives up Courland, is of slight practical importance to us compared with the question whether the condition of the people of the United States is bettered or worsened by the events of the war. This volume owes its existence to a belief that it is the business of Americans to guard the interests of America-and if to guard them, then, necessarily, to study them. It aims to afford materials for such study of American interests in at least one aspect-the aspect which, as the months draw on, emerges as perhaps the most anxious object of our concern: the vindication of the right of neutral ships to sail the seas on peaceable errands with innocent cargoes. Against Germany that right has been vindicated. It remains to assert it against Great Britain. Less tragic than German attacks upon our rights at sea, the persistent trespasses of the British have not drawn the same strained attention nor aroused the same dramatic passions. Nevertheless, it would be difficult to exaggerate the seriousness of the issue which Great Britain has forced upon us by a course of conduct, which, months ago, and long before it had reached its present excess of insolence, the United States Government was obliged to characterize as an almost unqualified denial of the sovereign rights of nations now at peace. Let us get a few principles in mind: Civilization does not countenance the view that war works a stoppage of the ordinary vocations, or interferes with the ordinary lives, of non-combatants. Commerce is free to flow in its regular channels in war as in peace, subject to two limitations or exceptions only, clearly defined and universally understood. These exceptions are that vessels are forbidden to go through a blockade; and that they are forbidden to carry what is denominated "contraband." There are, then, two grounds on which goods may lawfully be stopped on their way to a belligerent: First, on the ground that they are attempting to run a blockade, which has been formally declared and is being physically maintained against the port to which the goods are consigned. Second, on the ground that the goods are contraband. As for goods coming from the country of a belligerent, there is only one good ground on which they may be stopped, namely: the ground that they are attempting to run a blockade. The subject of blockade will be more fully considered further on; at present it is enough to point out the indisputable fact that international law makes these requirements concerning a blockade, namely: first, that it must be a real blockade; second, that it must be effective; and, third, that it must apply equally to all nations. The United States Government contends that no blockade exists against any German port. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the fading evening light of August 4, 1914, Great Britain’s H.M.S. Telconia set off on a mission to sever the five transatlantic cables linking Germany and the United States. Thus Britain launched its first attack of World War I and simultaneously commenced what became the war’s most decisive battle: the battle for American public opinion. In this revealing study, Chad Fulwider analyzes the efforts undertaken by German organizations, including the German Foreign Ministry, to keep the United States out of the war. Utilizing archival records, newspapers, and “official” propaganda, the book also assesses the cultural impact of Germany’s political mission within the United States and comments upon the perception of American life in Europe during the early twentieth century.
