MENACE IS SEEN
INEARLYPEACE
Gardner Introduces Resolu-
ton to Prevent Prema-
ture End of War.

In the midst of the discussion OF the
possibilities OF peace which is enga ging
the attention of many members of Con-
gress, belligerent note was sounded yes
terday by Representative Gardner. of
Massa achustts, who introduced a resolu-
ton designed, as he said. to prevent the
United States from becoming involved
in any German plan for the premature
ending of the war. The resolution reads
Whereas, in the opinion OF the vast
majority of the people OF the United
StP s, the deplorable European war was
wantonly and madly precipitated by the
autocracies which govern Germany and
Austria, and
Whereas, France, the British Empire,
Russia. Japan, Belgium, Servia, Italy and
Portugal have entered into an alliance
for the preservation Of civilization and
the punishment OF international faithless-
ness,
Resolved. that the Congress Of the Unit
ed States heartily cOngratulates France
and her allies on the success which is
so certain the near future TO crown their
superb efforts, and
Resolved further, that the Congress
OF the United States expresses its heart
felt admiration of the 10000 Irishmen
who are now heroically serving the cause
OF their country and of civilization in
the trenches in France and Belgium, and
The Washington herald., 1916-05-28

Resolved further. that the Congress
Of the United States would view with
apprehension any inconclusiye and pre-
mature peace which would encourage the
world to believe that nations may with
impunity violate every law Of God or
man, and
Resolved further, that the Congress
Of the United States utterly condemns all
efforts, no matter how plausible the dis
guise. which are designed for the pur-
pose OF embroiling the United States with
France, Great Britain or any one OF
their allies
In his explaining his reason for in
Producing the resolution Representative
Gardner said
Il have introduced this resolution be-
cause 1 believe it is about time to call
attention to the reasons for the great
growth Of the peace-at-any-price party in
Germany. Nothing could be more harm
full for the future security Of the world
than for the United States TO become
an accomplice Of Germany's struggle TO
escape the penalty Of her crime against
humanity"

THE American mind at its best is not easily bcguled. It doe,
not let theories outweigh facts, nor does it readily give up q
certainty for a promise.
To many thoughtful voters Of all political shades, Woodrow viii
son has come to seem not primarily a party President, or even a party
candidate for the Presidency, but rather, and in an extraordinary
sense, an indispensable national prescience and force, to remove which
would be dangerously to cast aside experience and interrupt the con-
tnuity Of the Nations attitude and policy at a time when the rest
Of the world is watching to see how consistent the American spirit
really is. At such a moment to turn out the tried FOR the untried goes
against the Yankee grain.
We believe this instinct is active just now in many minds, ire
spective Of party leanings. 1t may be noted in men Of widely differ
ing activities and modes Of thought. One day it finds expression
from the head Of a great railroad system. The next day it chances to
be Q minister of the Gospel, the Rev. DR.. Percy Stckney Grant, who
announces that, though he has never before voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket, he means to vote for Mr.. Wilson, because
"It is not a square deal to place unparalleled burdens upon
to turn him down To give four years training In our high
est office and then to throw away what a n exceptional man has
learned In that office is not economical. It wastes the highest
human acquisitions"
We lay stress upon this reasoning because it 10 typical and be-
cause 1t has nothing to do with parties or politics. 1t is the sound,
untrammelled good sense of q people whose birthright is freedom to
think independently and act accordingly. And it is unquestionably
the kind Of thinking which, when the results Of Nov. Z are analysed,
will be found to have played q powerful part in keeping Woodrow
Wilson where the Nation needs him.
