MIR. HEFLIN'S SPEECH

Washington, April 90 Special MIR
Helm: "Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of
the American Congress: AS member of
this House l took an oath to support the
constitution and to bear true allegiance
to the United States government, to pro
tect it against all enemies, both foreign
and domestic. All that l have done and
said since we entered the war has been
in response to my duty under the oath
that I took.
1T has long been the boast of the Ger
man government that in every war that
she has waged she has had men in posi-
tions of trust in the enemys country
where they could serve her most eff
fectively. In this country she has sought
to place them in the war and navy de-
partments and in Congress so as to
keep in touch with the war programme
and to have bills introduced and speeches
made that will embarrass this govern
ment and furnish German propaganda
to the spy system to be published and
ranked over the country at the expense

Mr. Gillett: "NIr. Speaker. 1 rise to a

The speaker: The gentleman will

Mr.. Gillett; Il do not think it is me

of this house, but for future presidents

then l shall leave it to those who havs

gentleman has said it seems to me is
not at all in order under the claim he
has made of personal privilege"

impugns my motives and said was
playing politics.
Here is what l replied to, here is
what was talking about. The gentle
man in this solemn place made a speech
and in it he made the suggestion that
No woman who had ever gone through
q high school ever remembered before
when 5oys were conscripted to so ana
| fight to settle the title of real estate in
| Europe. What is that statement? Ii is an
| Indictment of my country's position. IL
msreprcsents our position. we are nor
! lighting to settle the title to real estatd
! in Europe. When this bloody -handeo
monster of the old world reached out
| into the seas and tore down our flag, de-
stroyed our commerce and murdered our
citizens, we never thought of Alsace-
Lorraine. When France marshaled her
heroic army and made that brave stand
at the battle of the Marine she never
! thought OF Alsace-Lorraine; she thought
| of saving the life of the French republic.
| (Applause).
| Mr. Speaker instead of proceeding on
the idea that 1 spoke because inspired
| to play politics, | was taking to task
statements made on this floor by the
gentleman from Illinois, which state
ments, TO my mind, constitute an indict-
ment Uf my country's position in this
| war. Another one of the statements
that I was replying to and from a pure
lily patriotic motive was that the gentle
man from illinois said, Looking it square
in. the face and no lodging, the only
| thing tina. stands between us and hon
oraBie peace is the disposition of Alsace-
| Lorraine.
Am l to be accused of playing poll
tics when I challenge that statement?
| Why should gentlemen wish to deny
| me thu right to be heard when / brand
that statement as one that does not rep
resent the facts of our position? Pa
! triotic duty inspired me to challenge that
statement I have duty to perform here
as we'll as the boys over yonder, and,
so help RE God, this House shall not
become the forum and the Congressional
Record the vehicle to carry German
propaganda over our country. (Applause).
