CONGRESSMEN ASSAIL PRESIDENT FOREIGN POLICY IS HE TARGET

but brought about by the timely and friendly recognition of Carranza, the man whose greatest victories were won by Francisco Villa.
 Notwithstanding all these facts, the United States senators and representa- .tives will be heard denouncing the president for what he has done, or for what he has left undone-playing poli- tics, of course. Playing to the gallery, playing to the rabble, in order to gain some political advantage in the coming presidential campaign. Many of them won't stop at abusing the president be- cause of his Mexican policy, but they rake him fore and aft because of his European policy. They will cite the case of the sinking of the Lusitania, the Ancona, and now the Persia, to say nothing of the many outrages perpe- trated on our shipping industry by England and France-again, all for politics.
 Many of the greatest statesmen of America have complimented President Wilson on the firmness he has shown in all these cases. He is accorded credit for having won absolutely every diplomatic controversy in which he has engaged with either England, Ger many, France or Austria.
 True, the days have dragged into months, and the months almost into years; but if it were a century it would be infinitely better than plung- ing our country into a war with our kin and friends across the ocean. If those countries that have offended against the laws of nations make hon orable reparation for the crimes they have committed against our citizens. that is all we have any right to expect.
 We certainly could not get more if we went across the ocean and killed all the kings and queens over there. We would then be exactly where they are today, so far removed from hte seat of war that it were fool-hardy for us to attempt to take part in that awful carnage
 If left to free and untrammeleo vote of the thinking people of this country, removed entirely from poli- tics, President Wilson would be upheld by an overwhelming majority We do not want war. We want and we need peace throughout the civilized world.
 But the politicians will talk. They would be the very last in the country to shoulder musket. So let 'em talk
