drrcIict to my duty to you if l did
not deal with you in these matters
with the utmost candor, and tell
YOU that it may be necessary to
Use the force of the United States
! to lo." The next day at st. Louis
he repeated his warming: "Thc
danger is not from within gentle
men. it is from without; and | am
bound to tell you that that danger
! is constant and immediate, not be-
cause anything new has happened,
nol because there has been any
change in our international rcla-
1onShips within recent weeks vr
months. but because the danger
comes with every turn of events. "
The break would have come
! sooner if our Government had not
been restrained by the hope that
sancr counsels might still prevail
in Germany. For it was we'll known
to us that the German people had
10 Il very large extent been kept
in ignorance of many of the secret
crimes of their Government against
us. And the pressuc of faction
of German public opinion less host
lie to this country was shown when
their Government acquiesced to
some degree in our demands, at
the time of the Sussex outrage, and
| for nearly year maintained at
| least Il prctcnse of observing the
pledge they had made to us. The
tension was abated.
While the war spirit was grow
ing in some sections of our Nation.
there was still no widespread Gr-
sire to take part in the conflict
abroad: for the tradition Of nonin-
reference in Euproe S political at
fairs was too deeply rooted our na
tional life to be easily overthrown.
Moreover, two other considerations
s1rcngt hrned our Government in
lis efforts to remain neutral in this
war The first was our traditional
Sense Of responsibility toward all
! the republics of the New World.
Throughout the crisis our Govern
mcnt was IN constant communities
ton with the countries of Central
and South America. They, too.
preferred the ways Of peace. And
there was very obvious obligation
upon us to safeguard their inter
csts with our own. The second
consideration. which had been so
often developed in the President s
speeches. Was the hope that by
keeping aloof from the bitter pas
sions abroad. by preserving un-
troubled here the holy ideals OF
civilized intercourse between ma
tjons. we might be free at the end
Of this war to bind up the wounds
Of the conflict, to be the rcstorcrs
and rrbuil'lcrs of the wrecked
structure of the world.
All thes" motives held us back,
but il was not long until We were
brset by further complications. We
soon had reason to believe that the
recent compliance of the German
Government had not been made to
us in good faith. and was only
temporary; and by the end Of 1916
il WAS plain that our neutral status
had again been made unsafe
through the evcr-incrrasing aggrcs
sivcnrss Of the German alltocracv.
There was general agreement here
with the statement Of our PrcSi-
dent. on October 26. 1916. that this
conflict WAS The last great war in
volving the world in which we
could remain neutral.
Ii was in this frame of mind.
fearing we might be drawn into
the war if it did not soon come to
an end, that the President began
