Concord, N. H., Feb. 1. A grossly unwarranted extension of the right of blockade was the characterization of the new German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare made by former President William H. Taft, who addressed the state legislature today. He said in part:
"The dangerous crisis in our relations with Germany forced by her declared intention to sink neutral vessels engaged in trade with France and England, their crews and passengers, without warning by submarine warfare, is a grossly unwarranted extension of the right of blockade which belligerents have in international law against neutrals. It greatly emphasizes the need for hastening adequate naval and military preparedness against unjust aggression."
