The incipient revolt in Congress
week before last against the firm po-
sition taken by President Wilson with
Germany over the latter's declared
policy of submarine warfare, and the
Presidents incorporating holding
out for neutral, and especially Amer
lean, rights of commerce and lives
on the high seas, has naturally had
an embarrassing effect upon the Adj
ministration in dealing with issues
and question: growing out of the Eu-
ropean war. A few panicky Con-
gressmen lost their heads in the fear
that the President was inviting war
and they talked loudly and not at all
wisely about passing a resolution
warning American citizens off mer-
chant ships defensively armed.
The result of this decentralization
on the part of some of our Congress-
men is that reports have gone abroad
and the impression created that the
President is not backed up by Con-
gress and the country in his deter
mined stand to uphold the dignity and
honor of the United States, the rights
of American citizens under information
al law. Reports have come back from
foreign capitals that this country is
not unfolding the President and that
he cannot command its support in
his efforts to uphold international
law, protect American lives and COM
tnerce against the aggressiors of
submarine warfare, and maintain the
honor of the nation.
With a President thus discredited,
his exchanges of diplomatic commun-
ications with foreign countries, and in
this especial situation with Germany,
would be given no more serious at
tention than scraps of paper, as
Germany declared the treaties with
Belgium to be. 1t would place the
United States Government in a most
humiliating position, and so the
President decided to-tssall the bluff"
