War Against Mankind
"The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is all war
fare against mankind. 1t is a wal
against all nations. American ships
have been sunk, American lives
taken, in ways which it has stirred
us very deeply to learn of, but the
ships and people of other neutral and
friendly nations have been sunk and
over whelmed in the waters in the
same way. There has been no dis
elimination. The challenge is to all
mankind.
Each nation must decide for itself
how it will meet it. The choice we
make for ourselves must be made
with a moderation of counsel and a
temperatures of judgment Defitting
our character and u motives as a
nation. We must put excited feeling
away. Our motive will not be re-
venge or the victorious assertion OF
the physical might of the, nation, but
only the v%indication of right, of hui
man right, of which we are only a
single champion.
Armed Neutrality Fizzle
when ! addressed the congress on
1.-THE 3rd of February last ! thought it
would suffice to assert u neutral
rights with arms, our right to use
these against unlawful interference,
our right to keep u people safe
against unlawful violence. But armed
neutrality, it now appears, is imprac-
|ticable. Because submarines are in
effect outlaws when used as the Ger
man submarines have been used,
Iagainst merchant shipping, it is i'm
possible to defend ships against their
attacks as the law of nations has as
sumed that merchantmen would de-
fend themselves against privateers or
cruisers, visible craft giving chase
upon the sea. It is a common pru-
dence in such circumstances, grim
necessity indeed, to endeavor to de-
stroy them before they have shown
their own intention. They must be
dealt with upon sight. if dealt with
at all.
1.-THE German government denies
the right Of neutrals to use arms at
all within the areas Of the seas which
it has prescribed, even in the defense
of rights which no modern pubiicisl
has ever before questioned their right
to defend. The intimationl is convey
led that the armed guard which we
have placed on our merchant ships
will be treated as beyond the pale OF
law and subject to be dealt with as
Ipirates would be. Armed neutrality
is Intellectual at best; in such cir
cumstances and in the face of sucl'
pretensions it Is worse than Incl
Rfectual; it is likely ono to produce
what it was meant to prevent; it Is
practically certain to draw us into
the war without either the rights or
the effectiveness OF belligerents.
VIII Not submit
There is one choice We cannot
make, we are incapable Of making:
We will not choose the path Of sub
mission and suffer the most sacred
rights of our nation and our people
