Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1917-08-02
HOW THE WAR CAME
TO AMERICA
BY the Committee on Public In.
formation Created by Presi.
dent Wilson.

In the years when this Re-
public was still struggling for
existence, in the face of threat
ened encroachments by hostile
monarchies over the sea, in order
to make the New World safe for
democracy our forefathers esta-
blished here the policy that soon
came to be known as the Monroe
doctrine. Warming the Old
World not to interfere in the po-
litical life of the New, our GO
vernment pledged itself in re-
turn to abstain from interference
in the conflicts of Europe; and
history has indicated the desti-
MES of Europe, and it was vital
to mankind that this first great
experiment in government of and
by the people should not be
disturbed by foreign attack.
Reinforced by the experience
of our expanding national life,
this doctrine has been ever since
the dominating element in the
growth of our foreign policy.
Whether or not we could have
maintained it in case of concert
ed attack from abroad, it has
seemed of such Importance to us
that we were at all times ready
to 90 to war in it's defense. And
though since it was first enunci-
ated our strength has grown by
leaps and bounds, although in
that time the vast increase of
our foreign trade and of travel
abroad, modern transport, mo-
dern mails, the cables and the
wireless, have brought us close
to Europe and have made our
isolation more and more imagi-
nary, there has been. until the
outbreak Of the present conflict,
small desire on our part to abro-
gate or even amend the old fa-
miliar tradition which has 50 long
given us peace.
In both conferences at The
Hague, in 1899 and 1907, we re-
affirmed this policy. AS our
delegates signed the first conven-
ton in regard to arbitration,
they read into the minutes this
statement:
Nothing contained in this con-
vention shall be SO construed as
to require the United States of
America to depart from its ira
ditional policy of not intruding
upon, interfering with, or en-
tangling itself in the political
questions or internal administra-
ton of any foreign State; nor
shall anything contained in the
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1917-08-02

have urged the inviolability of
private property at sea, we have
asked for a liberal free list and
a narrow definition of contra
band. But our main insistence
has not been on any such details.
One salient ide3 has guided our
diplomacy. The law of the sea
must be founded not on might
but on right and a common &C
cord, upon a code binding all
alike, which can not be changed
or set aside by the will of any
one nation. Our ideal has been
not a weakening but a strength
ening of legal restraint by the
free will and agreement of all.
We have asked nothing for our
selves that we do not ask for the
whole world. The seas will never
be free, in our American mean
ing, until all who sail thereon
have had a voice in framing sea
laws. The just governance of
the seas must rest on the con-
sent of the governed.
No other question of interna-
tional polity has found the great
powers more divided. But in our
insistence on this fundamental
principle, we have been strength
ened by the support of many
other countries. At times we
have had the support of Great
Britain. No one of our Secre-
taries of State has more clearly
defined our ideal than has Wis
count Grey, recently British Sc
cretary of State for Foreign At
fairs. None of our statesmen
has ever gone SO far as he in adj
vocating limitation of the rights
of belligerents on the sea. 1t
was on his initiative that the in
ternational naval conference was
summoned to London in 1909, and
it was under his guidance that
the eminent international law
yers and diplomats and admirals
who gathered there drew up the
Declaration of London.
While there were in that De-
claration sections that did not
quite meet our approval and that
we should have liked to amend,
the document was from our point
Of view a tremendous step in adj
vance. For although, like any eff
fort to concisely formulate the
broad principles of equity, it did
not wholly succeed in it's pur-
pose, it was at least an honest
attempt to arrive at an agree
ment on a complete internation-
al code of sea law, based upon
mutual consent and not to be al
tered by any belligerent in the
heat Of conflict,
But the Declaration of London
was not ratified by the British
Parliament, for the point of view
prevailing then in England was
that a power dependent almost
wholly upon it's navy for protec-
ton could not safely accept fur
Their limitations upon action at
sea unless there were compensate
ing limitations on land powers.
And this latter concession Ger
many consistently refused to
make. The conference therefore
came to naught. And the Lon
don Declaration having been re-
iected by the strongest maritime
power. it's Endorsement was post
poned by all the other countries
