the Eastern hemisphere win the
Western hemisphere in contraVentloh
with the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine.
Because Of widespread misinterpfeta-
ton Senator Lodge declared the Senate
was running into danger II IL adopted
the Hitchcock resolution.
"If misinterpretation of the note is
general" said he, then we are in dan
ger. without abatement or modincatlon
of the resolution Of stating 70 the
whole world that the Senate or con-
gress are ranging themselves on the
side of one belligerent in an attempt
to bring about peace
1T will be observed that the Presl-
dent found 1t necessary that he was
embarrassed in plaking the proposition
as it might appear that he was IN
fuenced by the step taken by Germany
but a short time previous.
The Interpretation on Note
The President said his note >was in no
way associated with the German note
Unfortunately, a different Interpretation
has been placed upon the note poth
abroad and here at home. Otherwise 1t
cou,d hardly be coming at the moment
that it did.
"If Mr.. Lansing's statement made
few hours after the Presidents note was
sent. and in which the dangerous posi-
tion of the United States was pointed out,
10 true. no sounding out of the belliger-
ents was necessary.
The next morning, however, a second
exclamation of the Presidents note was
offered by Mr.. Lansing. How far TINS
second explanation went in explaining the
purpose OF the Presidents note l will
have to leave to others more ingenious
than myself to figure out"
Had Some Purpose
Senator Lodge declared he believed that
the Lansing statement had some purpose
and declared that If the purpose of the
note was to inform the world that the
United States had a direct interest that
was bringing this country to the verge OF
war. then the note was justified in form
and substances.
Senator Lodge will continue his argL-
ment tomorrow.
Administration officials have stated
that President Wilson will not seek any
action by Congress or desire the subject
debated. but that since it had come up
in the Senate naturally he would be dis
appointed IL a. movement to endorse his
course was defeated.
Senator Lodge based his criticism of
the German ambassador specifically on
