Ifectual enough at best, in such
circumstances and in face of
lsuch pretentions, it's worse
than Intellectual; it is likely on
ly to produce what it was
meant to prevent; it is practi-
cally certain to draw us into
war without the rights of eff
fectiveness of belligerents.
with a profound sense of
the solemn and even tragical
character of the step | am TAX
ing and of the grave response
bilities which it involves but in
unhesitating obedience to what
l deem constitutional, | advise
that congress declare the re-
cent course of the imperial Ger
man government to be in fact
nothing less than war against
the government and people of
the United States, that it form
ally accepts the status of a bel
ligerent which has thus been
thrust upon it and that it take
immediate steps not only to
put the country in a more thor
ough state of defense, but also
to exert all its power and en-
ploy ell its resources to bring
the government of Germany to
terms and end the war"
The President said his
course twould involve almos
practically cooperation in
counsel and action with the
governments now at war with |
Germany, liberal financial
credits, organization and mobl-
lization of material resources
to supply war materials, the |
immediate addition to the |
armed forces of the United |
States already provided for by
law in case of war at least five |
hundred thousand men, who, |
said the President, should be |
chosen upon the principle of |
universal liability to service.
The President also urged war
taxation to finance the con-
flict, ordered the borrowing of
money to provide men, and
ships. He will suggest through
the executive department mea-
sures for cooperating with the
other nations now at war with
Germany. He said: 1--WE have
no quarrel with the German
people. We have no feeling
toward them but one of sympa-.
thy and friendship. A stead
fast concern for peace can
never be maintained except by
the partnership of democratic
nations. No autocratic gov
could be trusted to
keep the faith with it or OBJ
serve its covenants"
