. STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER

- = STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER
Those who have become familiar with the remarkable state papers that have
come from President Wilson since this "a began were prepared for a vgor-
GUS treatment of war problems in the message to Congress at the opening OF
the present regular session. The address lis straight from the shoulder, and it
leaves n DON for any misunderstanding by any person as to what the aims
and purposes of this nation are.
The president makes the vigorous prosecution of the "a the keynote of his
speech. To that everything must be subodinated. And the only peace that
can be considered lis the peace that will follow the complete destruction of the
military power of Germany.
The practical view taken by the president is shown in his recommendation
that a declaration of war be made against Austria, but that this be not done at
present in the cas- of Bulgaria and Turkey. He makes it plain that senti-
mental reason do not govern, and that the things that are necessary to do
must be done Is they present themselves, and those that are not urgent may
be postponed. Hence, because Austria has her troops in the field where we
may need to cooperate, we should declare war against her. Because for the
present we are not likely to operate in the eastern field, we may ignore the
more eastern nations.
In addition to the instances by the president o the impossiblity OF peace
with the German government as now constituted and the determination of the
United States to fight until the end for peace O. the basis of justice and de-
mocracy, there is reason for qualification in the recommendations that are
made for such additional legislation Is may be needed to protect Americans
in their WI country from the activities Of the enemy. The suggestion OF
pententiary sentences for ofenses that have sometimes been regarded jest
ing is likely to lead to a nor sober understanding O. the facts, and n rec
concentrations for extensions of the pnce-fxing power will be approved every
where except by those who arc capitaizing the needs of the nation and pro-
filing by them-Grand Forks Herald.
