"OUr country can settle no question
Of human liberty nor will we gain any
desirable end by participating in the
European war, said Gov. Philip at
Madison commenting on the German
note on the Lusitania incident. 1--WE
should not seek an opportunity to sac
Titice American life and treasure which
under most favorable ending would
mean a net loss to our country, with
no useful service rendered to mankind.
II believe it to be our duty to main
tain strict neutrality and our interest
in humanity should dictate to us that
we give no aid to any nation, either in
money or munitions of wa, that will
tend to Dr0long the struggle. A neu-
raHty that is a mere compliance with
International law will under existing
conditions produce complications more
embarrassing than any we have 80 far
experienced
This country has no interests in the
questions that have involved European
nations in war and oar people should
support our president in his efforts to
maintain peace. -
