Abstract
- Argues that the true weakness of the German defense seems to lie in an inability to analyze the objections which America has made to Germany's conduct in the present war. Inability of each party to accept the other's point of view; Germany's attempts to explain the situation and justify events with the logic of necessity; Americans' question whether the Germans know that England, France and Russia would attack them in 1914; Americans' indictment of the Germans not so much for specific acts but for the logic and the ethics by which Germans create the necessity to justify them.
