WILSON'S POLICY

PEACE that agrees with national
honor and vital national interests
is the desire of the American peo-
pie.
Americans do not fear war.
History has proven this i'm five
wars. There can be no accusation
of timidty involved i'm a policy
such as President Wilson is pur-
suing.
There are conflicting questions
before the president that must be
solved i'm sane fashion, without
demands for immediate action or
violent counscls. The German
case. beyond doubt. includes ele-
ments of legal strength. 1t con-
tains, as most German cases do.
justification of material sort.
Germany has taken the position
that she has instructed her sub
marine commanders not to harm
neutral vessels not engaged lin
hostile acts; that she will pay for
damage to such ships in the war
zone; that neutral vessels carry
ing contraband will be dealt with
according to the rules of naval
warfare and she will pay for such
ships accidentally damaged, with
out prize court proceedings.
This policy would cover in
stances like that of the American
ship Gulflight, but not like those
Of the Lusitania. The latter was
not neutral, but an enemy ship.
1t was a carrier of war munitions
to the enemies of Germany. Had
no passengers been destroyed
with it. it's destruction would have
been accepted as a legitimate act
of civilized warfare. A similar
vessel on a similar mission, sent
out from Germany, would not
have got past the first British
submarine or destroyer.
Those are the elements of ma
terial justification that frame tn,
German case.
But the British war vessels
have not blown up thousand
men, women and children who
had nothing to do with the war
Regardless of the international
law in the case, the fact remain.
that the American people are NOR,
interested in the killing of thos,
neutral men, women and children
than in anything else.
Unquestionably that is tn,
point on which the issue ha.
come, regardless of the other ele.
ments, for it is that event tina
has brought about the crisis
not the Gulnight or the Falaba OF
the Gushing incidents. Those ar,
now merely related incidents.
The government has had full
freedom to ascertain facts and t.
deliberate without haste or pres.
sure and to come to a we'll consid
cred decision and no government
has had behind it the united sup
port of the peop.e more thar
President Wilson.
Germany may be sure that thi
country's decision has beel
reached without hysterical exces
of feeling and that it is not tn
product of any clique, party 0
faction, but an expression from
the American people.
