AT ANY MOMENT
AMERICA MAY BECOME BELLIGERENT DECLARATION BY COLONEL KNOX. PROTECTION OF MERCHANT SHIPPING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, September 28. The United States might become at any moment a belligerent, this depending on the “will of our avowed enemies,” said Colonel Knox, writing in the “Foreign Weekly.” He added that it was imperative to take every necessary measure to serve foreign commerce and save the lives of merchant seamen from destruction by commerce raiders. Colonel Knox called for the repeal of the Neutrality Act and the protection of the country’s three chief ocean trade routes, which he listed as the North Atlantic route to Europe, the sea lanes southward to both coasts of South America and those across the Pacific to Australia, the East Indies and China.
