The chancellor then insisted that
England obviously endeavored to do- •
clare that the use of the submarine
weapon Was the greatest crime of
the history, since, he said, England con
sidered herself the ordained ruler of
the oceans and the benefactor of hue
manlty. y
He recalled the opinion expreosed
on July 14, 1914, by Sir Percy Scott,
to whom he referred as one of the
greatest English authorities on naval
ed a submarine war exactly as It had
come about during this war and de
clared that no objection to it would
be possible on the grounds of law or
morality.
Sir Percy, the chancellor added,
obviously could n9t have considered
that the present submarine warfare
would become the only German de
fensive measure against the Entente
Allies and the .British starvation
blockade.
The chancellor pointed out that
the British starvation blockade was
not without precedent In English his
tory. Premier Lloyd-George himself/
said the chancellor, had protested la
parliament against the cruelty by
which the British victimized thous-
•®ds of Innocent women and children
of the Boers.
Mr. Lloyd-George stated that the
death rate among children below 12
years of age In those concentration
camps was 41.4 per cent ; Joseph
Chamberlain, then llrltisb colonial
secretary, admitted that the death
rate among children In the Orange
Free State 'was temporerly SS per
cent ; the chancellor recounted
"These conditions.*' he contlnned.
"were th# result of a systematic pol
icy of extermination under which
women and children were insuffi
ciently supplied with food—not, per-
