RO UBMARINE GIVES . NE&?A%EW OF POLICY {Continued from Page 1.) increases the chances for internation- al complications. Just as the initial violations of Am- erican neutrality were invited by ad- vertised determination not to resent aggression, so the present situation has been brought about by a similar advertisement of policy. Following the ultimatum to Germany of April 19 when that country backed up at the first definite show of force made by ‘this government, Mr. Bryan pub- lished an editorial in his ‘“Commoner” stating, that in order to be elected, ‘Mr. Wilson would have to call upon the 1,500,000 pacifists in the middle west. Mr. Wilson apparently saw the situation in the same light, for peace at-any price became once more the dominant note of the administra- tion. The entire campaign for Mr. ‘Wilson’s re-election was predicated: Color No. PeacoCk .......co00vu0es RUBBOLL: « sicie covon wiss enn o American Beauty. .. Westeria . .. Mauve ...

Under no circum- stances could it be admitted, that the policy was a mistake, and anything that might bring out the appearance of war would in itself be a clear ad- mission, that the policy had been fa- tuous. If Mr. Wilson’s policy has kept us out of war up to this time, and resulted in the situation which threatens war before November 7, then the entire foundation is knocked out from under the edifice; started at the St. Louis convention and in- dustriously - completed since.

American firms have been blacklisted; Holland and the Scandinavian countries have been placed on rations, and America has been told how much goods they may ship them, and how much they may not. American mails have ceased to be sacred, and Lloyd George has been compelled to explain in Parliament that American trade secrets obtained in this way were not being utilized, when he had previously said this was being done. -Every American official mail as far off as the Orient has been subject to this process. Again act- ing upon this precedent the German government has made the initial step in what appears to be a reopening of the submarine campaign with all its attendant dangers to the peace and safety of this country. istration is between two fires. A con- tinuation of the German submarine program off the American coast, even though carried out without error, and without violation of international law will result in an actual blockade of our coasts. This means destruction of the artificial prosperity existing in America, and will be an eloquent commentary on the beneficient influ- ence of the Underwood tariff. The administration bases its claim | for support on “pence. prosperlty snd preparedness.” . Such .a situation would show conclusively that the gov- ernment has not insured peace; that perity, and it would show the utter lack of any preparedness. No one can tell the exact purpose of the German government in inaug- urating its submarine campaign in American waters. The only verdict that appears to be unanimous is that, it was an audacious plan brilliantly and daringly executed. \ It is filled with the most infinite possibilities, and all of them the result of a policy that instead of “keeping us out’ of war,” has resulted ina situation that threatens complications.
