What Congress Should Do.

The President feels it his duty as
chief executive to uphold the laws as
they are, but it is the duty of Congress
to make laws. And / believe that Con-
gress can at this time go far toward
removing the danger of war by legis-
lation which can be stated in a very
few words.
First, refusing clearance to any bel
ligerent ship carrying American passen-
gers At a time like this no foreign
ship owner should be allowed to safe
guard contra band cargoes with Ameri-
can lives. The government is justified
in restraining from such travel any
American who is willing to put his
own personal convenience or financial
interest above his countrys peace and
welfare. Citizenship is very one
sided affair if a citizen can demand the
sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of
lives for his protection and yet is under
no obligation to consider the welfare
of his fellow citizens"
