the governments policy would be an

Lodge and Senator Sterling spoke
on the latter's resolution declaring
that the United States should not
accept the principles as proposed by
Germany and Austria.
1.-THE abandonment of the rights
of vessels to arms and the rights OF
Americans to travel on merchant
ships and to ship cargoes on these
ships is utterly incredible, and such
abandonment could rest only on the
ground that the rights Of neutrals
a century old should be thrown aside
so that the new instrument of mar

TILT
IN SENATE
DEBATE TAKES PLACE OVER AD-
ILLUSTRATIONS FOREIGN
POLICY.
A SHARP CRITICISM
senator sterling Says II the United
States Accepts the German-Aus-
frian Decree IL VIII BE
Step Toward War.

WASHINGTON, February ia
sharp debate resulted on the sen
ate floor this afternoon following an
attack on the administrations for
eign policy by Senators Lodge and
Sterling. After the two republicans
had declared that the reported course
of the administration toward the pos
sible approval of the central powers
submarine policy was step toward
war. Senator Thomas read into the
records more recent reports that no
such approval was intended. lie
then charged that the attack was
for political effect and was not bas-
ed on facts or sincere desire TO
better the nations international re-
lations.
THE merchantmen OF one bellig-
erent nation have been swept from
the sea- declared Sterling. There
fore, IL we abandon all the principles
for which we have stood 1t will be
TO make us the ally OF the belligerent
whose merchantmen have been swept
from the sea. That puts US In
position OF hostility toward those
belligerents whose merchantmen still
sail the sea. That would be step
toward war For these reasons !
do not believe the administration"
thinks OF altering its we'll defined
position, and should it act otherwise
| IL would be TO accept humiliation ana
encourage the dangers Of war from
which the boldest and most reserV-
| ed should shrink Therefore | think
such course as has been discussed
in the newspapers is wholly incon-
ceivable. Germany's order TO sink
merchant ships without warning
constitutes one of our sravest inter
national crises
Sterling is the author of resolu-
ton against the recognition OF the
Teutonic decree. He denounced the
German order as reversion to the
darke ages and declared that another
incident similar to the Lusitania or
Arabic case would lead to war.
LET another such sea horror oc-
cur where American lives are in
volved." Sterling said, "and this ad-
ministration and the world will know
that there is a real America, not
apathetic and hesitating, but strong
and militant If wantonness inhu-
manity shall continue the sacrifice
of lives on the Lusitania may not
| have been in vain"
He declared that il the admins
tration yielded TO German It would
be a dangerous and vicious princi-
pie.
