THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS

WET when on Nov. 4, President
Il Wilson himself formally an
nounced his conversion to the new
cause, it was in language of a
curiously battling character.
Force everywhere speaks
out with a loud and impari-
Gus voice in the titanic
struggle of governments, and
from one end of our dear
country to the other men are
asking what our own force
is, how far we are prepared
to m aint ain ourselves
against any interference
with our national action or
development We have
it in mind to be prepared,
but not for war, but only
for defense; and with the
thought that the prin-
Ciples we hold most dear
can be achieved only in the
kindly and wholesome at
mosphere of peace, and not
by the use of hostile force"
Upon this somewhat contradic-
tory foundation, the President
then went on to describe a pro-
gram calling for half a million
trained troops and the second
most powerful navy in the world.
Yet as he went on. the uses to
which this presumably unhoStile
force were to be put became only
more vague and more perpleXing.

FORD'S PEACE SHIP

ON Saturday, Dec. 4, an eXtraor-
~ binary scene was being en-
acted upon a pier in HobOken. To
understand it one must remember
that behind all the emotional
storms of Spy-hunting. patriotism
and preparedness there was real
war in Europe, now dragging on
to its second bloody and futile
Christmas.
Those Americans who felt that
the United States, as the one
great neutral remaining, might
really exert an influence to cut
through this insane and tragic i'm
paSSe may have failed to think
through to the bottom of their
appalling problem.
But today one can only admire
the SoundnesS of their instinct and
the courage of their convictions.
RoSika Schwimmer, with COOL
er boldneSs, had gone straight to
Henry Ford himself, and in No.
vember had taken him.
Her project of a continuous
peace conference at The Hague
seems to have meant little to his
rather bewildered mind, but when
somebody suddenly suggested that
a ship be chartered to take over
American delegates TO such con-
ference, he Sprang to life. There,
at least, was something concrete.
Impetuously he stormed the
White House, to be met only with
elegant and cautious generalitieS
that seem to have confused and
angered him. He returned to
New York. chartered the Oscar II
Of the Scandinavian-AmeriCan
Line, summoned the reporters and
on Nov. "a announced his project.
He would himself take an eX-
peditionary force of all the most
distinguished American pacifStS
to Europe, and he would get the
boys out of the trenches by
Christmas" Thus the story broke;
and it was, as Madame Schwim-
mer had diSaStrously failed to
realize. "a beauty"
1t was the answer to
an editors prayer. 1t had
everything pathoS,
big names. a political angle,
international complications,
the golden glow of Fords
millions. The reporters did
their duty. Madame
Schwimmer was prepared
for violent attacks upon
the peace project but

THE REPUBLICAN SIDE

TT was battling problem. One
Il broad and absolutely basic is
sue in national policy was at that
moment confronting the people Of
the United States.
Should they abandon the tradi-
ton of century, definitely link
their fate with one side in the
European quarrel and so take a
conscious position in the interna-
tional system with all which that
may imply? Or should they in
trust themselves in the future as
in the past to a genuine policy of
genuine neutrality and nOn-en-
tanglement From the preSenta-
ton of this issue the Republican
opposition, unfortunately, had de-
barred itself.
The Republicans delicate task
was now to prove themselves more
martially patriotic than Mr.. Will
son, stronger in the defense of
American right and more hostile
toward Germany. while at the
same time ann3xing the German
vote and convincing the nation
that they were the genuine party
of peace.
1t was not precisely a noble or
even a statesmanlike maneuver,
nor was it an easy one. Patriotism,
preparedness and a skillful vague
ness upon everything that really
mattered was the only possible So
luton; and even here the repre-
hensible and slippery Wilson was
actually threatening to beat them
to it. Marse Henry Watterson
had forcefully summarized their
unhappy state:
There is not even an es-
Sential issue. The tar
if? Absurd! Economy?
Tell it to the Marines! The
flag? Does any one imagine
that at the psychic (the new
name for opportune) mo-
ment Wilson will not wrap it
around him, march down to
the footlights and fire the
traditional boss pistOls?"

A PEACE-LOVING NATION

ID EHIND him, the year 1916 was
ID dawning upon his country
men with all the radiance of an
unparalleled prosperity. For the
statesmen it was dawning also,
though less happily, as the harbin-
ger of a presidential electoral
campaign The political situation,
they observed, was decidedly CON
fused"
The Wilson Administration was
fortified by a brilliant record" of
domestic reform; worse than that,
the country was getting very
prosperous and the people were in
a money-getting rather than a
heroic mood"
1t left the Republican politicians
facing a bleak absence of issues at
a moment when they were also
without a man. The party was
still divided by the great schism
of 1912.
Mr.. Roosevelt had long since
forgotten his battle for the Lord
and social reform in his conSum-
ing hatred for Mr.. Wilson, and was
now indistinguishable from the
orthodox Republicans. But many
of his followers were not.
Besides, the Republican leaders
were in a quandary for which the
simple, bloodthirsty bellicosity of
Mr.. Roosevelt offered no solution.
1t was obviously upon the field
of foreign policy that their assault
would have to be delivered. Like
Mr.. Roosevelt, the Republican
chieftainS had earnestly sought to
capitalize the martial ardOrs and
prO-AIly enthuSiaSms of the pOpu-
lace against Mr.. Wilson.
Powerfully assisted by Mr.. Roose-

The great bandwagOn to which
Gen. Wood had set a prophetic
shoulder so long before was at
last beginning to roll in earnest.

was a devoted neutral and his
