Ny Dear Mr.. President: 1t 10 with
sincere regret that l have reached the
conclusion that should return to you

with which you honored me at the be-
ginning OF your administration.
Obedience to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government a note In which l
cannot join without violating what /
deem to be an obligation to my coun-
try and the issue involved Is of such
moment that to remain Q member of
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as 1t would be to the cause which Is
nearest my heart. namely. the preven-
ton of war.
! therefore respectfully tender my
resignation. to take effect when the
note Is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous of reach
ing peaceful solution Of the problems
arising out Of the use of submarines
against merchantmen. we find our
selves differing irreconcilably a. to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation: consider 1t to be
none the less my duty to endeavor a.
private citizen to promote the end
which you have In view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing the intimats and pleas
ant relations which have existed be-
tween Us during the past two years,
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which it has given
me to be associated with you In the
important work which has come be.
