at is not unfair to the Administra-
ton to say that II has always been in
favor of a settlement of this war by
| negotiation between the powers. This
was its position before we entered the
war. when the President proclaimed a
lust settlement Of the war to be Peace
without victory announced that we
were not concerned with its terms and
called upon the belligerent powers to
state their terms, with a. view of a
settlement through open diplomacy.
After we had entered the war the same
idea Of peace by negotiation and onen
diplomacy seemed TO persist. For . long
time. even TO the present day. the Presi-
dent has separated In his mind the Ger
man people from the German Imperial
Government and the military high com
mand.
Appeal Ia AssaiIed
"The President expresses the fear that
IN either house will embarrass him
abroad. as a vote Of want Of confidence
IN his prosecutor of the war is wholly
without force. The return OF Repub-
lican Congress will confirm our allies in
knowledge that the American people
insist on unconditional surrender and
rcpudiatc a peace by negotiation. II
will make ror the united action Of the
Allies and the achievement Of the nigh
An.l-
What we have had Of the Democratic
ma jority and its leaders is a fair basis
for what we may expect Of another
Democratic majority II that be returned.
With these lessons of the past before the
people of the United States, how can
there be any hesitation in returning a
Republican majority to each House SO
far as the war is concerned and the
maintaining the proper fighting trim OF
our gallant armies?
BIG Work for Congress
"'rhe war may end before the new
Congress begin its term. In any event,
II viii end before the first regular ses-
sion Of that Congress. The military
reasons for President wilson's unified
leadership therefore have little or no APP
plication. AS to the settlement of the
terms Of peace, the Constitution requires
