BY the extraordinary demand he

BY the extraordinary demand he
has made for a vote in the House OF
Representatives on one of the pend
Ing resolutions designed to abridge
by municipal enactment the right OF
American citizens to travel under the
protection of international law on
merchant ships of b%elligerent Powers
President WILSON has done three
things:
He has revealed with dramatic
potency the grave injury inflicted on
this nation by the agitation In Con.
greSs last week. which was inter.
preted abroad AS convincing evidence
that the American people was hope.
lessly divided In its attitude toward
tn defence Of the historical rights
Of neutrals.
He has challenged the advocates of
scuttle to n combat in which each OF
them must unNeil the motives that
Inspire him and defend the course
that through subserviency. or pique,
or cOwardice. or corruption. or igno.
rance, he has followed.
He has given notice by nm act in
capable of two interpretations of his
confidence In the ultimate sanity and
patriotism of the Representatives In
Congress and of his reliance upon
them, when understanding of the i'm.
port Of their acts possesses them. to
restrain themselves to their constitu-
tiOnal function and to withhold their
hands from the tasks that are not
theirs.
W. shall not at this time discuss
the cause that have brought the
President to the humiliating pass In
which his letter to Mr.. Pou was writ
ten. These are neither simple nor
easily set forth and Mr.. WILSON Is
not blameless in this matter. But we
shall record our belief that when the
vote the President calls for Is taken
1t will result In an overwhelming
majority against the cancellation of
any right to-day enjoyed by American
citizens under the law Of nations.
Our faith in this does not spring
from respect for the Presidents un.
doubted power over the w.aklings in
the national LEGISLATURE. We do not
look TO the party lash to whip into
line n sullen and reluctant majority.
we presume no partisan triumph over
an obstructive minority hut we
anticipate II serious and ~eficacious
demonstration of the intelligence and
patriotism of those members who rec.
ognize the gravity of the situation
which ineptness. laundering and worse
have produced. When the roll is
called they will cast their votes for
America, for honor and for enduring
peace.
