THE GERMANS AND WILSON,

While the San Francisco conyen-
ton OF the German. American alliance
supplied vehicle for some ill-adyis-
ed individual utterances, the record
made by the convention as a whole
was discreetly moderate. By an
overwhelming vote the convention
voted down a proposal to address
scolding letter to President Wilson.
crltlcising his course in opposing an
embargo on munitions and carrying
an lnferential threat of intention to
| hold him to account politically. The
convention adopted resolution in
favor of an embargo on arms and
ammunition, but it was sober in tone.
and it made no effort to drag the
president into the issue.
| Whether viewed from an ethical or
political standpoint, the wisdom of
the moderate record formally made
at San francisco is to be commended.
Criticism of the chief executive in
matter OF foreign policy would be
| wholly inappropriate coming from
any national body representing a
| large element of American citizen
ship. Moreover the making of such
record at San Francisco would have
involved exceedingly poor politics.
AS 1T appears to this newspaper, the
surest way to insure the reelection of
| President Wilson is to have the radi-
cal sympathizers with either or both
sides of the European unpleasant
ness open fight upon him because Of
his efforts to hold the United States
to an attitude of true neutrality. The
moment fight of this kind is at
tempted in an organized way, sup
port of the president is made {. mat
ter OF patriotism with many citizens
who might be opposed to him as
mere matter of politics. Support
| would go TO the president on that ac-
count from many patriotically dis
posed citizens who might not haye
| been pleased with his handling Of all
| the war problems.
1
While not sympathizing with the
administration in it's policies, these
citizens would be quite sure of their
president patriotic intent and
equally sure OF their obligation as
patriotic citizens to support his for
elgn policies and to see that he did
not come to harm politically by rea-
son OF them. There are. enough
American citizens who can be count
ed on to feel this way to more than
counterbaiance the number that NAV
be disposed to help one European
belllgerent or the other through the
medium of American politics.
Those whose sympathies in the war
make them pine for the retirement
OF President Wilson to private life
should talk their sentiments quietly
among themselves. The moment the
Impression obtains that they are con-
ducting an organized campaign of
serious proportions to defeat the
president, the chances for the presi-
dents defeat on any score will be re-
duced to insignificant proportions
