of the determination that Austria shall

II v the Austrian nilmirality's own
admission that its commander torpe
doed the Aneoiin uflcr her cuiiinc

law nml "entirely disrcitard" humane

The administration holds Austria
dors not iiuestion or dispute rccox
nied international law nor humane

not feel called on to debate them.
America renews the demands of her
original note and "sincerely hopes"
Austria will meet theni in a spirit of
frankness and with "the same concern
for Kond relations" now existing be
tween the nation on which the United
States makes the demands.
