Cahan, who described the sinking of the I'm Alone as either an act of war or deliberate piracy. "The real object with which Mr. Cahan raised the question be- came clear when he went on to criticize the Canalian diplomatic protest as giving away too much to the United States. He was out to discredit thé Government at all costs. Hitherto all parties con- cerned in the question have kept their heads and tempers admir- ably.
