TaÌˆgliche Omaha tribuÌˆne. [volume] (Omaha, Nebr.) 1912-1926, 1917-03-01

There has not often been ut
tered in Congress a more neces-
sary admonition than that which
Senator Stone OF Missouri,
Chairman OF the Senate Com
mittee on foreign affairs
and a man very near to the
President has issued yesterday
from the floor Of the Senate
chamber.
Mr.. Stone said. There is
no shadow Of a doubt in the
mind of any fair thinking man,
that there is a cabal Of great
newspapers in this country
seeking to create sentiment and
coerce, the government Of the
u. S. into an attitude of hostil-
ity with one of the beIligerent
powers. / believe anyone who
makes such FALSE statements
is a public enemy and that he
should be punished"
That ought to deprive Of the
halo of patriotism those war
monging editors, theorists
and college professors Of whom
Congressman Moore spoke, and
we may add the warmongers
in the pulpit, who SO eagerly
have tried TO create an unholy
war, They spoke Of peace
without honor iii order to drive
us into war without honor
From now on we believe all
danger past, as long as this
Congress is in session. We be-
lieve Senator Stones admonition
to be the sense Of the majority
Of the u. S. Senate. We believe
that, what Representative Moore
said on last Thursday, to be the
sense Of the House and the
whole U. S. Congress. And it
was this that he said.
Il wish the newspapers Of
this country, which are now de-
claring wal against a foreign
country and endeaYoring to in.
volve a hundred millions OF
American citizens in a strife
which is no part Of their BUSH
ness would take note OF the
fact that the American congress
today indicates that it is pre-
pared to be a deliberative body
under the constitution and pro-
poses to exercises its rights.
Il wish the great editorial
writers, whether subsidized or
not, could take note Of the fact
that there is a revival of the
independent spirit of American

The Newspaper Conspiracy.
Shown up i'm Congress
Febr. 9th 1917.
Qudd verbatim ffsH Congressional Record" page 1870 10 1921.

MI. CALLAWAY. Mr.. Chairman, under unanimous
consent, ! insert in the Record at this point a statement
showing The newspaper combination, which explains their
activity III this war matter, just discussed by the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Ar Moore):
Sin March, 1915, the ] P. Morgan interests, the steel.
shipbulding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary or
CARNATIONS, got together II men high up in the newspaper
papers in the United States and sufficient number Of them
to control generally the policy Of the daily press Of the
United States.
THE IL men worked the problem out by selecting L0
newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to re-
tain only those necessary for the purpose Of controlling the
general policy of the daily press throughout the country.
They found it was only necessary TO purchase the control
of Is of the greatest papers. The Is papers were agreed
upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national
and International, OF these papers; an agreement was reach
ed; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by
the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to proper
" supervise and edit information regarding the questions Of
preparedness, milifarsm, financial policies, and other things
Of national and international nature considered vital to the
interests Of the purchasers.
This contract is in existence at the present time. and
it accounts for the news columns OF the daily press OF the
country being filed with all sorts Of preparedness arguments
and Misrepresentation as to the present condition Of the
United States Army and Navy, and the possibility and pro-
liability OF the United States being attacked by foreign foes.
This policy also included the suppression of everything
in opposition TO the wishes of the interests served. The effective
ness Of this scheme has been conclusively demonstrated by
the character of stuff carried in the daily press throughout
the country since March, 1915. They have resorted to any,
thing necessary 10 commerciaize public sentiment and sand
bag the National Congress into making extravagant and
wastcful appropriations for the Army and Navy under the
false pretense that it was necessary. Their stock argument is
that II is patriotism. They are playing on every prejudice
and passion OF the American people

True Patriots Will Not Do Anything to
Embarrass Their Government or WantOnIy
Take Risks That May Bring on War.
From The New York American, February 10, 1917.

see why the unlawful agrees
sions Of England upon our
commerce should not be resist
cd with the same force and de-
termination that German ag-
gressions have been resisted.
Nor can we yet see how such
q policy is exactly neutral. For
example, our jingoes assert that
it is a deadly blow at our honor
and rights when our ships and
cur citizens on foreign ships
are hindered from voyaging to
England.
Yet for two years past not
a single American ship has been
permitted to voyage to Ger
many or to Austria, both OF
which are larger and more
populous countries than Eng
land, and both of which have
long been heavy customers Of
ours and always at peace with
us.
Under the LAW OF Ma
TIONS and the EXPRESS,
WRITTEN, RATIFIED agree
ments of R THE HAGUE
and LONDON, American neu-
trail ships have the right to
voyage unmolested to Germany
or to Austria with cargoes Of
food for civilian use and with
cargoes Of rubber, wool, cot
ton, textile goods and other ar
ticles all the nations agreed
at The Hague to declare IN
VIOLABLY
BAND.
Yet II at any time during
two years past an American ship
had armed itself and insisted
Upon trying to take a cargo to
a German or Austrian port,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
FIRED ON AND DESTROY
ED by any British cruiser which
saw it, unless it first stopped
and surrendered.
In order to avoid that kind
of catastrophe American ships
have not attempted TO voyage
to either Germany or Austria,
though both countries would be
eager customers of American
shippers. J
Now, from the standpoint Of
plain, h~ard-headed common
sense, we are unable to see why
it is patriotic and honorable for
American ships to abandon the
lucrative trade with Germany
and Austria for fear Of destruc-
TaÌˆgliche Omaha tribuÌˆne. [volume] (Omaha, Nebr.) 1912-1926, 1917-03-01

The neutral nations which de-
Iined to join the United States
in severing relations with Ger
many did SO because they be-
loved that such an act would
not be Neutral.
There is. a division Of opinion,
and Sweden, Holland, Chile and
Argentina are as much incens-
ed over the British blockade
and restrictions upon neutrals
as they are over the German
submarine blockade and re-
strictions upon neutraIs.
The American has pointed
out, time after time, that the
solid basis Of a League Of
Neutrals must be firm opposi-
ton to ALL aggressions OF ALL
belligerents.
A league that would NOT
USE FORCE to stop the de-
predations Of one belligerent
while it WOULD USE
FORCE to stop the depredations
Of the other would not be a
neutral league. 1t would be a
partisan league.
Now partisanship does not
and cannot make for peace.
II makes only for more war.
Partisanship cannot conciliate.
1t can only excite more anger.
The British blockade Of Ger
many, Austria and neutral Hol-
land, Sweden, Denmark and
Norway is as lawiess as the
German blockade OF England,
France and Italy.
Evidently the injured neutrals
will not join a league to resist
the German restraints upon
neutral commerce and not to
resist the British restraints up
on neutral commerce.
A neutral ike Sweden, which
suffers almost entirely from the
unlawful blockade of its COM
merce by England, would never
join such a league as that.
But we do not in the least
doubt that ALL neutrals would
join a league to enforce neutral
rights EQUALLY against the
allies and the Teutons. Because
that would be a fair programme,
i NEUTRAL programme and
d programme that would benefit
ALL NEUTRALS ALIKE.
We have all the time felt
that such should have been our
own course.
We have never been able to

desperate push on the western
front and one more coordinate
offensive on the Russian, Italian
and Macedonian fronts and
when the frightful photographic
is over, there will be peace ne
gotiation.
In the meantime Germany
will strive to strangle Eng
land in the anaconda folds Of
her submarine blockade, while
the German armies strive to
hold their wall Of steel against
the allied assaults.
We say this with accurate
and authoritative assurance of
truth.
No armed interference Of ours
WILL NOW BE d
Neither will any armed inter-
ference Of ours AFFECT I'm
ANY WAY AT ALL TIE
RESULT, except to strengthen
Germany's submarine warfare

Cecil Rhodes said "the British
flag is an asset. They seem to have
annexed the American flag the
stars and stripes, as a British asset
too. We notice the ammunition
papers, ~exhorting the people: III YOU
have a flag, display it, IL you have
none, buy one
The flag of America should never
be an asset Of England, Americas
most ipsidious enemy.
It is too proud q nag, to wave Tor
anything but America.

THE STROLLER

Saturday morning crowd was
gathered in front of the office of the
Wells Fargo Express company around
crate such as is used to ship ami
mails in. The crate contained two
small and very mournful looking
coons, and they did not seem at all
happy They were cute little fellows,
and nosed each other and scratched
without ceasing, the latter operation
reminding QUE of a saying which re-
fers to insects which sometimes caper
over pet coon. The coons were con-
signed to Otto Erdmann, Ills Lisbon
street, Watertown, from Wilmet Swan
son of Loveland, Ohio.
