WILSON CALLED FOR.
The pro-English press, which is
also the Administration press, in-
dulges in calling the Senators and
Representatives 'pro~Germann and
"hyphenated citizens" who in the
halls Of Congress dare to differ from
President Wilson on his ideas oil
neutrality. Of the ammunition ques-
tion, and Of the submarine question,
and the New York World says they
are more German than the German
Government"
The members Of Congress who
differ from the President on his for
eign policies have decided American
ideas. They have lined up for a
safe and sane conduct OF our rela-
tions with other nations and want
to keep the United States out OF for
eign ENHANCEMENT. That is d policy
laid down by the first President and
adhered to by all Of his successors
with the exception Of the present
one, who, led by the London-New
York money interests, the ammuni-
tion manufacturers, a powerful press
under the control OF the money i'm
terests, and a clique of patriots
claiming to be Americans, but who
arc at heart British, was leading
this country fast toward an situation
which would have made an alliance
with Great Britain inevitable.
President Wilson once asked for
"a line up" of the American people.
He can now judge the Zine up" Of
the people by the 'line up in Con-
gress The Washington Correspon-
dent Of the New York World said a
few days ago, the majority of the
Senators appears to be in favor OF
Senator Cores resolutions forbidding
American citizens to travel on bel
ligerent ships and forbidding Amer
ican ships and neutral ships trading
between American ports and ports
in Europe TO mix munition OF war
with American citizens.
Senator Hoke Smith, on pre-
yious day, had called for an examina-
tion Of the Administration record
in bringing Great Britain to book for
her treatment Of American trade.
In the House OF Representatives
a number Of measures have been in
troduced showing the same kind Of
a 'line up"
Alluding to the Presidents TRADE
in his annual address to the Con-
gress, against naturalized citizens OF
the United States whom, he alleged,
have poured the poison Of dis
loyalty into the very arteries Of our
national life," Representative Ben
net OF New York introduced a reso-
luton in the House calling upon the
President to furnish IL with the
names tof all the persons involved
in criminal or otherwise unneutral
plots, together with information as
to the former allegiance OF such
persons as may be naturalizcd citi-
zens and specifically the plots in
which it Is alleged such persons
were engaged.
Representative Steenerson offered
a bill which would make it unlawful
for any person or corporation to
ship munitions Of war to any country
that prevents the shipment Of Amer
lean goods to neutrals.
Representative Campbell OF KAN
sas introduced a bill proposing the
establishment sof the International
Federation OF the World, whose duty
II would be to codify international
i"W r4tN auJuoL ulSPuNSS DGLW SSl
nations.
a resolution was introduced by
representative Edwards OF Georgia
calling for the thanks OF the Con-
gress to Henry Ford for his efforts
toward the re-establishment OF
peace. and another BY Representa-
tive Shallenberger Of Nebraska ask
ing that the United States send a
peace commission abroad.
Another evidence or the "line up"
Of the people was given the other
day when Representative Gardner Of
Massachusetts, was given a hard cali
ing down by Representatives Cooper
and Stafford Of Wisconsin, Long
worth and Allen OF Ohio, and Sher-
ley Of Kentucky for an attack made
by him on the American citizens Oh
