Now Against England!
Ersa uo-lHiss Demand Action President Wilson must b Impartial.

President Wilson has determined
that no further effort will be made
10 compel Great Britain to lift her
"illegaI and ~indefensibIe" starvation
blockade against Germany or to cease
interfering with the legitimate trade
OF American citizens, until he is "ab.
soIutely assured that Germany viii
not resume ruthless submarine war
fare. SemiHofficial outgivings from
Washington declare that Germany is
to blame for the decision not to go
for" Great Britain at once. We are
informed, If Germany had not threat
ened to begin her submarine war
again unless England yer compelled
to observe international law, the In.
tied States would now take up with
England all matters in controversy.
President Wilson has heretofore de-
clared to be proceeding for the pro,
lection Of Americans and American
interests without reference to the re-
lations Of the belligerents to each
other.
The new policy announced Friday
represents a complete change of front
from this position. The President
now holds that the German case and
the British case are linked and that
action in the British Is contingent on
the outcome Of the German case.
Typical Of the comment al the cap
itol Is the opinion Of Senator Sherman
OF Illinois. who said:
This seems to be an unblushing
confession Of unneutral Partially for
the British cause on the part Of the
administration. The suspicion OF the
administration playing England's
game is strengthened. The new
policy suits the purpose Of Great
Britain and denies American business
men the protection to which they are
entitled. 1t Is a clear case of I'M
neutrality"
Many other public men arc of the
opinion Of Senator Sherman. For in
stance, Professor Albert Bushnell Hart
Of Harvard says in the New York
Times:
Both Germany and Great Britain
have been. throughout the war, com
hitting acts which viii be highly dis
advantageous ~precedents to them in
years to come. The plain duty Of the
United States Is to compel both these
powers 70 respect our rights, the loss
OF which would be a terrible disad-
vantage to us in the future. The time
has come to call Great Britain to
account, not because Germany sug-

gests 1t, but because 1t is the duty Of
our Government TO protect the
present and safeguard the future
prosperity OF the Union" !,
And the Sun. which is certainly
not oyerfriendly to the German cause,
said:
"...But we a see no reason why
the disposition and intention Of the
German Government to profit from
our dispute with the Allies should
operate as a brake on the negoti.
atoms. These were opened not to
aid or inture Germany, or England,
or France, or Russia. but 10 con.
serve the interests and preserve the
rights Of Americans. The incidental
benefits deriyable therefr0m by this
or that belligerent are affairs in
which we have no national concern.
Nor Is 1t proper for the United States
to modify its attitude toward one
helIigerent merely because of the
hopes or fears Of another. The sole
and only purpose Of the Administers
ton should be to protect the Govern.
ment and the people Of the United
States. The incidental effects abroad
Of fits proceedings to accomplish this
are not matters for 1t to take into
account In determining its action"
OF course, the renegade In The
Evening Post, eager to serve Great
Britain whenever he sees a chance,
declares: German diplomacy has
now another stupidity to its charge,
which II thought was cleyerness. In
tying up its surrender to the United
States with the condition that Presi-
dent Wilson must at once bring Great
Britain to book. the German Govern
ment apparently thought it was max.
ing a great stroke. But to-day 1t has

the position taken by our State De-

Peace rumors crop out with special
frequency when the cause of the

blow, like, for instance, at Kut-el-Amara
week before last, when Immediately

to prevent the holders Of Anglo
