and from an American standpoint
They are beginning to realize that
the propaganda has enabled Lane of
Canada and Wilson of Scotland, with
Lansing in the cabinet. to browbeat
Germany and Austria and prevent them
from using their last weapon, the sub
marine. to force England and her COM
bination to let the United States do
business with the other half OF the
world. There is a feeling of suppressed
anger among many of the democrats
at Lansing action, and If it can be

England and her combination to force
Germany to get wheat and other cereal
territory in Russia and cotton terri
tory in Turkey. and produce copper
and other mineral products in the mines
of Europe and Asia.

necessity of the white races of the world
combining to bring about a permanent
peace. He said Marsalis had not talked
to him about the Germans. and that he
had not sought to have him introduce a
resolution bearing the armed mer-
chant ship question
