London cable to the New York
Times: George Bernard Shaw says:
THE entrance of the United States
/ into the war was inevitable for me-
chanical reasons. GERMANY had forced
them to arm their shipping against
boats were sinking American ships.
and American ships were preparing
/ to sink undersea boats in self-0e-
tense. This would have produced a
situation worse than war because II
an American ship captured an sunder-
sea crew OF a herman cap
tured an American crew which had
fired on her the prisoners in either
case would not have been prisoners OF
war but pirates. and would presume
ably have been hanged as such. Un-
der such circumstances an intelligent
captain would not have taken any
prisoners. and. as intelligent captains
are by definition also humane captains,
this alternative would have been -un-
bearable. Germany has. in fact. forced
| the United States to accept war with
her.
president Wilson. the only great
statesman the war has produced. has
thus got an inside grip morally by
keeping his head. and, having an un-
commonly good head to keep. not to
mention a character fully in keeping
with the great American tradition OF
Lincoln and Washington, he has
placed his country in an impregnable
moral and political position. She has
escaped all entanglements in European
alliances. and comes into the war with
a free hand and an absolutely clean
record as far as aggression or provoca-
tion is concerned. The president has
not made a single false step, and
every American can back him without
the scruples that are tearing tender
lconsciences to pieces all over Europe,
where every one of the allies has been
put repeatedly into false positions by
its statesmen. and the alliance as a
whole has been compromised by pub
lie documents, which. even when prac-
teal conclusions have been justi1able
and. indeed. inevitable. have been in
tone and thought little better than the
manifestos of brigands. These docu-
ments have had, among other effects,
that of making it impossible for the
United States to come into an alliance.

into this war as a first -class moral as
set to the common cause against junk
erism."
