"The feeding of his prisoners is Hitler's obligation by the letter and spirit of international law," declared the "New Orleans Times-Picayune" in an editorial, "Letting down the blockade to let food go through to the distressed victims of Nezi brutality," the journal added, "would bring comfort and aid both direct an} indirect to the Nazis themselves and to their ambition-crazed Dictator."
Regarding the refusal of the British Government to allow American relief work to break through the British Navy's blockade of the whole area covered or under the control of the German conquerors, the journal went on to comment that "humane people sympathize with the victims and sympathize deeply but the London government's determination never to relax the blockade against the Nazi warlord who now seeks to enslave the British people will also evoke the sympathy of the great majority of the American people who appreciate the logical and lawful necessity forced on the British Government and people by Hitler's savage drive for conquest." emphasizing this point the journal concluded that "it must never be forgotten that the Nazis are trying to starve the British by their own drastic blockade even while they complain loudly against Britain's use of this same weapon. It is also worthy of note that the British make no loud outery against the enemy's blockade but grimly carry on their own defence in spite of it."
