This bit of philosophy was advanced
by Edward Hales Drum, the famous
Tanlac Man. who is personally super

"I heartily recommend Tanlsc TO old

Canadian Lawyer Says Peace
Note Was Inspired By
German Threat
MENACE OF U-BOATS

MONTREAL Quebec Dec IS In
an article entitled "Was There a Ger
man Threat? A Canadian View" Vic
tor f. Mitchell, X. c.. leading law
yer Of Montreal has this TO say Of
President Wilson's peace note.
In connection with President VIII
sons latest note. il is interesting to
recall that no real explanation was
ever given of Ambassador Gerard's
somewhat unusual visit to the United
States few months ago.
THE question is whether Mr. VIII
sons peace thrust was due in any way
to a threat from Germany. In other
words. whether Mr.. Wilson acted as a
German agent. The first statement OF
Mr. Lansing gives color to this view
and his second statement or eXplana-
ton does not explain it away
THE President emphasizes that
the war must first be concluded. And
the President is equally frank IN stat
ing that the concern OF the United
States for its early conclusion arises
not out of its interest In civilization
and those rights and liberties for
which the Allies are fighting. hut out
OF a manifest necessity to determine
how best to safeguard its interests II
the war is to continue That is, how
can the United States be kept out OF
the war If Germany should carry out
her threat and break her pledge TO the
United States by resuming submarine
warfare in violation of international
law? Quite a little problem even FOR
"A college president.
THAT astute friend of the President
Count Won Bernstorff. with that re-
source and fertility for which he is
distinguished. no doubt suggested that
the victorious Teutonic allies should
magnanimously offer through the gov
eminent Of the United States, to dis
cuss peace terms with their defeated
enemies.
us It stretching ones imagination
too far 10 assume that some such IN
timation or threat was made 70 the
President by the German Ambassador
7 think not: and il my assumption is
correct truly the United States were
as Mr.. Lansing said. being drawn
nearer to the verge Of war
"Bui. nevertheless. the President
was playing Germany's game when he
sent his note, and from The standpoint
of the Allies # could not have beer
lmore unfortunately worded. More
over. I DO not think the note woulC

many had not in some way threatened
or indicated that unless peace coul,
i'm some way he brought about il
would be compelled to extend its H.
legal submarine warfare TO American
