Reprisals Urged

New York, June 16.

Reprisals for the sinking of the American freighter, Robin Moor, by a German submarine are being urged by some newspapers. "The Milwaukee Journal" says the moral to be drawn is to clear the Atlantic of Nazi ships. The high seas have been threatened by piracy and the United States have every reason to sink subs or surface vessels of the German Navy on sight, A Gallup survey of public opinion indicates that just over half, the people are in favour of the United States dent Roosevelt was described in the Wilhelmstrasse as "entirely unjustified," said the official German news agency. It added that the question of counter-measures was being examined.—Reuter.
