ing upon facts, a reasonable Judgment,
permitted by a situation in which the
national security could be deemed to
be actually threatened.
THE seizure, which is the only
thing to which the resolution is adj
dressed, took place on November 10,
1913, and at time there was no men
ace to the national security. There
was no basis for any reasonable judg-
ment that there was any danger to
the national security.
THE question is not whether the
war had ended, in the sense Of a
restoration of amity between peoples.
1t is not question of whether the war
had come to a termination as a state
Of war. The danger which congress
contemplated, and which alone con-
stituted the condition upon which the
president was authorized to exercise
this very important power, no longer
existed think that what may be
achieved in the sense of the final re-
suits of the war probably will not be
determined during our lifetime"
Recalls Mr.. Wilson'S Words.
Mr.. Hughes then said he was pres
ent when Mr.. Wilson announced to
congress '"ThC war thus comes to an
end" Mr.. Wilson, recited he said,
the terms of the armistce which de-
manded the surrender of the German
fleet, the occupation of German cities
by the allied armies, the surrender of
war materials and the heIplessness to
which Germany was reduced by the
terms.
'WhatcVer Importance there is to
be attached to the action of the pres
ident in the case is to be attached to
that action not q S the president act
ing within his political sphere defined
by the constitution, not as the COM
mander and chief of the army and
navy, but as the delegate of certain
powers conferred upon him by con-
gross. If congress had the power to
pass this joint resolution it could
have empowered the postmaster gen.
cral directly to perform all the acts
that were authorized.
''Now, as an American citizen ! re
sent the suggestion that the president
is above tho law; that as the delegate
Of congress he can do as he pleases
without any inquiry as to the legal
authority under which he acts. It is
a. most extraordinary thing for an at
tOrnay general to say to a court that
the president, acting under a dele
gated power of congress can ever be
challenged with respect to the
propriety of that action, or whether
he has transgressed the limits of that
power"
Mr.. Hughes said that although Mr..
Burlcson took over the telegraph and
telephone systems at the beginning of
August under the presidents proCla-
nation, ne did not take over the ca
bles until the middle of November.
He contended the use of the cable for
war purposes was even more urgent
than that of the land lines. There
FORE he declared, cit may be said
that it was not necessary to take the
cables
Down to November II we were ac-
tually fighting, the government was
being served by the cables, and there
was no seizure" he continued. "After

duke Ferdinand. Now I must do ev-
erything over again.
Says He WiIIed War.
History will recognize in these two
manifestations of your conscience the
truth of your responsibility for a de-
Iiberate war. In an interview I had
with you on the same yacht on the
morning of the same day I noted
certain points disclosing your real
purposes when [ said to you that I
believed the majority Of the French
supported the idea of a rapprOache-
ment with Germany, you answered
me with unusual emphasis, Yes, but
we must hurry or else it will be too
late and other arrangements will be
necessary to establish the position of
the nations of Europe.
" Here are the Anglo-SaXons un-
derstanding their true interests and
trying to group themselves in joint
protection against the yellow races
Even this year President Wilson and
England have used diplomatic lam
guage. They understand also that
there is nothing to do with Germany
than to accept her as she is
After thus quoting verbatim the
enperor's language, Prince Albert
adds:
You afterward talked at length to
convince me you had no bad senti-
ment toward France or anyone, and
you remarked to me that you might
have fallen upon Russia when she
was ruined by her war with Japan.
and upon France when 100000
French soldiers were in hospitals,
When I answered you that Frances
pacific intentions were shown by the
tendency 10 reduce her military
forces. you had nothing more osay."
He Hinted Mt War.
The Prince then relates a sensa-
tional conversation in which the EN-
peror pointing to a British squadron
visiting Kiel. foresaw the coming war.
THE transformation of your men
tal1ty became evident to me in June,
1914. when upon the deck Of the
IIohenzollern at Kiel you said to me
with irritation as you saw the English
squadron come to salute you: II
they oblige me to make war the world
will see what it has never known
before
Your mind seemed touched with
last CLEAN of foresight as those fero-
cious views took form. Perhaps you
still wished to resist the monstrous
obsession of those demanding war, for

ernment had not consented to parti-
cipate in the action.
He declared MI. Mackay's COM
plant "intimates that the mental
operations of the President were not
as he states them, for in his procla-
nation it was distinctly stated the
seizure of the cables was for the
national security and defence. The
only first hand evidence as to the
operation of the presidents mind
could be obtained by having the pres
ident take the witness stand himself.
Should The do so he would be subject
to rross-eXamination. Imagine the
spectacle of the head of the nation
being subjected to cross eXaminat ton
at the hand of my able opponent, "
said Mr.. McClellen.
Nh McCellen declared the presi-
dents proclamation on the cable seiz-
ure must be taken as final, that the
government is in possession of the
cables, and that if anybody is wrong
fully in possession of them it is the
government. He declared that even
if the court were to grant an injunc-
ton it would be futile, as the gov
ernment simply will replace Mr.. Bur
Lesson and Mr.. Carlton with others.
the cables as war measure and that
the resolution of congress empowering
the president to seize the cables
pledges the good faith of the govern
ment to recompense the owners for
the property taken.
Limitation as Well as a Grant.
At the outset of his argument Mr..
Hughes declared he did not believe
congress authorized the president to
seize the cables during a mere tech
meal state of war;
THAT resolution authorized the
president to seize the cables only in
case of impending danger to the ma
tional security. due to the actual con-
duct of the war; he continued. THAT
was a limitation as we'll as a grant Of
power. It defined the emergency in
which alone that power was to be ex-
ercised, and it did not, on a reasonable
construction Of the authority, en-
power the president to seize the cables
at any time during the existence of a,
mere state of war as affecting relations
between peoples of countries. The
finding Of that danger to the national
security was a condition to the presi-
dents exercise of authority, and that
finding within the meaning Of the res
olution, its fair intent was not to be
an arbitrary executive fiat, but find
