President Orders I Freedom of Seas Washington, Sopt. 12?8?cret*ry of Stale Hull indicated today that Germany's actions will determine what jiiouh the United States will consider "defensive water*" In which American warships will shoot first In their patrols to defend shipping against Axis attacks. Asked to define the waters concern ed. Hull told reporters It must be rememhered that the 1'nlted States con fronted a world movement of force foi the purpose of conquest of continents and seas. The discussion was on President Iloosevelt's speech last night In which the president bluntly barred vast reaches of the seas to what he called rattlesnake raiders carrying the flagH of Germany and Italy. Mr. Hoosovelt backed up the no trespass order with guns of the United Stutes fleet. The opposing forces, Hull said, will have something to say concerning areas of the sea which the United States may or may not llud necessary to defend In order to protect this hemisphere. AhKcH whether the United States wmXd ti\w send'a formal note to the German government protesting Nazi attacks on Amorclan shipping. Hull simply referred questioners to 1 resident Roosevelt's speech. Foes of the administration's policies immediately chorused that (his constituted "an unauthorized declaration of war", "an engraved luvltatilon to trouble." Rut there was no disagreement as to what- the president meant. His j Instructions to the. fleet, effective at | once," were specific?strike llrst wlthI out waiting whenever Axis raiders are encountered hereafter In the "defensive waters" of the United ?\tates. That, in brief, was the burden of the address which the chief executive delivered by radio last night. It represented the president s reply to the recent series of sea Incidents?a previously undisclosed attempt to torpedo an American battleship. the clash between the U. 9. 9. i , Greer and t\ U-boat in the North Atlantic. and the sinking of three AmerIcan-owngd merchantmen. "The sole responsibility rests on Germany," said Mr. Roosevelt of the future. "There will bo no shooting unless Germarty continues to seek It. "But let this warning be clear. From now on. if German or Italian vessels of war enter the waters, t|^e protection of which is necessary for American defense, they do so at their own peril." While critics were aroused by the pronouncements?Senator Van Nuya (DInd) called them "alarming terrorizing"?The address drew a round of bi-partisan approval, highlighted by the endorsthnent of Wendell I,. Willkie and the statement of Senator Thomas (D-Utah) that "driving pirates off or out of the seas is ! not war." To Britain the president's words were welcome and the London press hailed them In headlines which < larioned: "G. S. to guard our chips. "F. IV R. orders 'sink Nazis In U. S. seas'." The British radio announced "Hitler's expulsion from the Atlantic is starting immediately." The official response however, was left for a "p? rseti of equal standing" presumably Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Rome and Berlin displayed no hurry to comment. but actually German commentators had anticipated the speech by several hours, denouncing Mr. Roosevelt roundly as a "warmonger" who intended his address "to excite'# public oplulou In the United States." ? la Canada the president'# words were considered strpnger' than auy previous assertions, and the general opinion seemed to be that the United States hud moved a step closer to uctual participation ly a shooting war, There was un echo (ft a bygone shooting war when Mr. Roosevelt flatly accused Qermauy of waging "ruthless. .. unrestricted submarine warfare." It was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfure early iu 1917 that brought the severance of diplomatic relations with (Jermuny which preceded the United States entry Into the World War. As for the "unrestricted submarine warfare of 1941," President Roosevelt said the United States-was ready to deal with It In defensive waters "no matter what It takes, no matter what It costs." Although the #White House had promised that the speech would leave no questions* unanswered, It contained only the vaguest Indication of what parts of the sea were held to constitute "defensive waters." Moreover, It made no mention of any decision to seek repeal of the Neutrality Act. and It was completely silent on the subject of the third Axis power, Japan? a silence some thought was significant. In speaking of /'defensive waters", Mr. Roosevelt made only one point dear?that the seas Immediately surrounding all American outposts were so considered. The absence of a more explicit definition *iet legislators studying previous presidential pronouncements In an effort to work out one for themselves. Til? general conclusion was that the "keep out" zone would include all of the west Atlantic from Iceland down to the areas off the long South American coastline. However, Mr. Roosevelt has indicated on several occasions that, from the standpoint of defense, ho considers the hemisphere's geographical boundary an elastic line. Such a conception, officials were quick to note, would not be calculated to hamper naval operations under last night'B orders. The uncertainty on tlje subject was, further heightened by this passage from Mr. Rossevelt's address: "No act of violence, no act of intimidation will keep us front maintaining intact two bulwarks of American defense: First our line of supply [of material to the enemies of Hitler, and second, the freedom of our shipping on the high seas." ' The reference to the supply line to the enemies of HUlar was believed to be the basis for the British interpretation that American naval units would provide trans-Atlantic guard for their shipping. It also started administration opponents proclaiming: '"The convoys are coming." But Roosevelt had nothing more to say on this particular point, and no member of congress claimed authoritative knowledge of what he had in mind. There was speculation, however, that the insistence of freedom fOr American shipping on the high seas might presage some form of protection. naval or otherwise. In the Red Sea area where the freighter Steel Seafarer was bombed to the bottom last Sunday. It was to the Atlantic, however, that Mr. Roosevelt addressed himself most of the time and lie denounced Axis raiders there as "pirates" and rattlesnakes". "...When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike." he said, ou do not wait until ho has struck before you crush him. "These Nazi submarines and raiders are the rattlesnakes of the Atlantic, i They are a menace to the free path-( ways of the high seas. They're a challenge to our own sovereignty. They hammer at our most precious rights when they attack ships of the American flag?symbols of our independence. our freedom, our very life." Then. with measured emphasis, came these words: "In the waters which we deem necessary for our defense, American naval vessels and American planes will no longer wait until Axis sub- , marines lurking under the water, or Axis raiders on the surface of the u-a. strike their deadly blow?first." Not only American commerce but diips of any flag" will be protected in those waters, he declared. The president delivered his address from the diplomatic reception room of the White House. ?
