Excerpt from Contraband and the War
The fact that the neutral persons affected are to a large extent really innocent sufferers cannot be allowed to impair the efficacy of a belligerent's arms. This is particularly the case in the great war now raging, in which the gradual wearing down of Germany by the exercise of sea-power is indispensable for the self preservation of Great Britain and her Allies. They are engaged in a life-and-death struggle for everything they hold dear, and are therefore naturally entitled, while respecting and safeguarding neutral interests as much as possible, to use to the uttermost all legitimate means for the coercion of the enemy.
