URGES sHUN CHINA ATTITUDE

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May H.
Former President Theodore Roose-
welt tonight made a plea for prompt
action by the United States on ac-
count OF the Lusitanis disaster,
while commenting on President Will
sons speech OF last night to a gath
ering Of naturaliEed Americans in
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Roosevelt was particularly in
terested in that part of the presi-
dents speech in which the latter re-
ferred to such thing as a man be-
ing too proud to fight" and "a ma
ton being so right thai it does not
need TO convince others by force that
II is right"
Il think that China is entitled TO draw
81 the comfort It can from this state
ment," said Mr.. Roosevelt, and it would
be we'll for the United States to ponder
seriously what the effect upon China has
teen Of managing it's foreign affairs dur
ing the last fifteen years on the theory
thus enunciated.
Without twenty-four hours delay this
country should and could take effective
action by declaring that in view OF Ger
many's murderous offenses against tho
rights OF neutrals. all commerce with
Germany shall be forthwith forbidden
and all commerce OF every kind per-
mitted and ENCOURAGED with France, Eng
land and the rest OF the civilized world.
This would not he a declaration Of
war. II would merely prevent munitions
OF war being sent to power which by
It's conduct has shown willingness TO use
munitions for the slaughter Of unoffend
ing men. women and children.
81 do not believe that the firm asser-
ton OF our rights means war. but It is
we'll to remember there are things worse
than war.
LET us as a nation understand that
peace is OF worth only when II Is the
hsndmsiden OF international righteousness
and OF national self-respect."
