HITS NATIONAL

Former Candidate for Governor

New York. March s.-O,car S.
Straus. Progressive candidate for Gov
ernor In 1912. caused consi terable stir
at the weekly luncheon discussion OF
the Republican Club yesterday by at
lacking tho plank in the Progressive
national platform which calls for
free passage of American ships through
The Panama Canal
Il would throw that platform to the
Winds when IL comes TO question of
the maintenance of international
honor" Straus announced. although ]
am proud TO belong TO the party that
made the platform"
II am proud to say" he continued,
that we have to-day Il President who
has risen above the plane of petty
party politics to the higher and nobler
plane of national honor.
Senator 0 Goiman says the nat onal
honor imposes on the United States
an observance of the Democratic plat
form. but President Wilson right,
holds that national honor imposes on
Americans the fulnllment of their ma
tional obligations.
Some will say We are yielding to
Great Britain. We do not have to yield
10 any one. But we are yielding to our
own sense of International right. and
yielding to that great spirit OF fairness
and good will which Is welding to-
gether the two nations"
Strauss In "Anhnmed.1
The subject of the discussion was
"A Century OF Peace Between the
United States and Great Britain and
Present World Conditions of Inter
national Unrest"
Straus said he was ashamed OF the
fact that the United States govern
ment had thus far done nothing to
celebrate the centenary OF peace, al
though Canada has made plans for a
fitting observance. He said he hoped
action soon would be taken In this
country.
