THE PRESIDENT is RIGHT.
j. .. "A ! LUX
Shawnee Township

For Congress to fail to uphold
the president i'll his stand upon the
question of warning Americans to
keep off the. ships of belligerent
nations would be unthinkable. 1t
is now a matter of principle, not
a question of expediency, and for
the United States government, be-
cause of the fear of offending
Germany, to warn her citizens to
stay off merchantmen Of the war
ring nations, would be to yield to
Germany the rights of the nation,
as guaranteed all neutral govern
ments by international law, and
to yield so important point
would open door by which fur
Their concessions would without
doubt be demanded.
This government has always
jealousy maintained her rights on
the high seas. and more than a
century ago went to war with a
world power to. uphold these
rights. Shall these hard won
rights be abandoned at the de-
mand of another nation? 80.
Germany has given official no.
tice that upon March LIST she will
resume her submarine warfare up
on merchant vessels whether car
rying passengers or not. Presi-
dent Wilson demands the safety
of American citizens under the
rules of the war and, as the re-
sult of resolutions introduced in
to Congress to warn Americans
not to embark upon these ships,
he has called upon Congress for n
showdown. and asks vote on
these resolutions.
Our attitude on questions of this
character cannot be regarded by
world powers as Of great force
with the legislative AMI executive
departments not of one mind and
it is with this in view that the
president asks that the stand of
Congress he defined.
The president is right. Congress
must support him in upholding tie
national honor.
