HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Professor George G. Wilson, the Harvard authority on international law, asserts that we are not in a state of war with Germany, no matter what outrages she has committed upon us, because "the United States and Germany are both parties to (III.) Hague Convention, 1907, Article I, of which is as follows: "The Contracting powers recognize that hostilities between themselves must not commence without previous and explicit warning, in the form either of a reasoned declaration of war or of an ultimatum with conditional declaration of war."
This may be all very well for a nation that respects its treaty obligations, but how about Germany, whose most solemn pledges are only "scraps of paper" when it pleases her to violate them? Does any sane person think for a moment that she would give us a "reasoned declaration" if she wanted to strike first? Boston Post.
