British government leaders didn't present the
Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks, Hall
reminded them that outrage was growing in America
over Germany's announcement late in the day of
January 31 that the German navy would resume
unrestricted submarine warfare. In fact, that policy
provoked the U. S. government to cut diplomatic relations
with Germany in February,
O Hall wanted to let the American outrage simmer down
before revealing the contents of the telegraph.
O Hall knew that growing outrage among the American
public would help Britain's cause.
Hall worried that the American public would lose
interest in the contents of the telegraph.
O Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to
wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson.
