blacklisttng OF American traders and to
tolerate no interference with American
malls s.a.
I'VE do not propose to tolerate any i'm

Mr.. Hughes made no direct reference to
the newly developed submarine situation.
Earlier in the day he had authorized
statement that he did not wish to en-
barrass the administration In dealing
with the new problem by publicly dis
cussing IT, but he reiterated with unusual
emphasis his declaration for the ''protec-
tion Of American lives on land and on
sea-"
The administration asks for a vote of
confidence" he said, but its defenders
cry out in protest when its record is
critically examined. When its hurnIliat-
ing failure to safeguard American rights
Is held up to deserved condemnation it
tries to escape by asserting that Its con-
duct has no alternative but war; that to
disprove its conduct is to favor war.
This astounding assertion cannot
avert attention from the serious errors
committed. We all desire peace, but we
desire peace to be honorably maintained
by correct policies, by firm insistence on
known rights, by deserving and holding
the esteem of the world. We have not
