OUR REASON FOR WAR.
BY William Howard Taft.

Killing against the law with delib.
GRAFTON is murder, and Germany has
been guilty OF murder Of 200 Of or
fellow citizens, innocent OF any OF
Tense. national OF International.
The Constitution OF The United
States is interpreted by the Supreme
Court TO say the duty OF the citizens
Ut the United States is 10 render al
legiance, to do service, to pay taxes,
and support The government, and the
corresponding duty Of the United
the right OF citizens of the United
States at home and abroad
In view, therefore, Of the murder of
these zoo citizens and OF the announce.
ment of a policy to continue these
murders. what alternative was there
left other than a declaration OF war to
the United States!
Suppose this had been Guatemala
that had sunk one OF our vessels and
sent ten Of our sailors tc the bottom,
How many hours do you think it
would be before the President and the
Secretary OF the Navy would send
battleship down 10 Guatemala and be
laundering at the ports Of that repub-
lie and demanding restitution, de.
handing Il promise OF conduct hereat-
ter, demanding damages for what had
been done, and ON failure to answer
promptly, beginning bombardment?
Even paciists would have justified
that.
Now. what is the ditterenye between
that situation and this? A very great
difference, II YOU understand what it
means ~ consent TO the murder Of 200
OF our citizens because there is a
powerful nation You have TO meet and
overcome in order 10 yindlcate the
rights Of our citizens.
II means submission to the dnina.
ton OF another power. Ii means giving
up the independence for which we
fought in l776
In entering the war We are entirely
void of offense. We have been forced
in. The situation has been such that
no seltrespecting nation, no nation
which appreciates what government
is formed for, could avoid doing What
We are doing when the rights Of our
eitixens. the preservation OF which is
the chief object Of government, have
been defiantly violated by power
that rests for its right upon might
That is why we are in.
The issue at present is drawn be-
tween the democraeies Of the world
and the military dynasties, and people
like to characterize that as the issue,
1t is and 1t isn't. What | mean is
this:
The United States is not knight.
Grant country going about to indc.
pendent people and saying, I'VE do
not like your form of government, va

the welfare and happiness of the rest
Of the world family, we have u right
and duty, standing with other ma
tons, To see to ii that such a policy
is stopped forever.
