THE PRESIDENT !
| RIGHT AND WRONG
•
REMARKABLE ARTICLE WRIT
j TEN BY THE EDITOR OF
SEATTLE TIMES.
:> __
New York,
Thursday, April 20, 1016.
. Remarkably interesting have been
! these last few hours, since the Presi- j
dent began to speak before Con- !
’ stress. It was the editor’s good for
tune to sit with the veterans of the ]
Associated Press beside the wires i
that brought the speech to New
Y oak.
First came the speech with the
inevitable ending—a threat of sever- j
! ance of diplomatic relations- As the
President concluded, interest shift
ed instantly to the first possible ex
: pression of national opinion — the
; demonstration or lack of it. on the
part of the merttbers of Congress
When the cheers started there was
. a chance, only a chance, that Con
gross would express enthusiasm-!
Hardly had the wire told us of the j
cheers, when it began to tell us i
that they had died away
This, I say. was the first express
■ ion of national opinion. And every
dispatch that has come to New
i York during yesterday afternoon, last
j night and this morning, every edi
torial that has been written here, in 1
the nation’s metropolis, has follow-:
ed along the line that Congress it- j
self indicated—perfunctory, machine
made commendation — th n, the j
pause and thought
America is not whole-heartedly
: behind the President.
Why? Possibly for the same ren
! son that I find I cannot Say, from j
the bottom of my hc-nrt, that Mr. '
Wilson has pursued the right
course- I feel that he is right In
j one direction, but wrong in at least
two others, possibly more
Looking at the torpedoing of the \
j Sussex all by itself, the President is !
right. Such an act ;s a crime, a
i dastardly crime. Any man would
be right in protesting, with all the
power that circumstance had put.
; in his grasp, against the act and |
any possible repetition of the out
rage—even to the point of involv
ing a great neutral nation in war. ;
But the President is wrong. If
I such an act of warfare is jnstifica
! lion for involving America in the
world conflict, then the Lusitania,
horror was trebly justification for
such an ultimatum as was launched
nt this late day. As long as the ,
President did not inform Germany
at that time that such warfare must ;
cease and that, unless the imperial
government should then immediate- ,
ly declare and effect an abandon
ment of such a method of warfare,
! diplomatic relations would -be sev
ered, there is no justification for
; the act now when Germany’s only
possible answer would seem to be
an act of war directed against
America.
Again the President is wrong.
If a neutral -nation has the right
to do what we did yesterday thru
Mr. Wilson, why did we not arise
in our wrath at the violation of
Belgium's sacred rights? If the
neutral nations must be so care
fully safeguarded new, where was
our President ‘when a certain scran
of pa: or was thrown to the winds ■
of e' iiency? 'If it. is wrong to
diev. u noncombatants, why is ' it
not wrong to drop explosives upon
women and children? To use chlor
ine gas ? Liquid fire ?
Finally what has Mr. Wilson done
to prepare America for the con
flict that must inevitably follow—
whether now or a little later—his
message of yesterday ?
He has made cpeecht •. to be
sure- But if it is true that he de
sires his Congress to do more than
it has done, to do something real
for adequate preparedness and had
found out that he could not ac
complish his desires, what right
has he to send us, unarmed and j
untrained, to inevitable defdat at
the hands -of the invader?
From the standpoint of politics,
the ultimatum -was »•. poor move,
unless we go immediately into war
and that war becomes popular- Mr
Wilson’s popularity is on the warn
today. And the Roosevelt tide is
still rising
HOTTEST REGION
IN THE WORLD
OX THE EASTERN EDGE OF
DEATH VALLEY IN
CALIFORNIA.
Which is the hottest region in
the world? This question is a
common one, and probably in most
eases the person who asks it has
in mind a comparison of maximum
rather than mean temperatures- As
suming the question to be asked
from this point of view, the answer
to it will no doubt surprise most
readers
So far as can be learned from ob
servations made at regular meteoro
logical stations, the hottest region
in the world is not in the heart of
Africa, or South America, or even
in the torrid deserts of Asia—but
on the eastern edge of Death Val
y, California, where a borax com
pany has laid out a ranch embrac
ing some 100 acres of irrigated
land, on which are grown alfalfa,
’•ui; and vegetables. Although it
has been stated on excellent au
th rity that you cannot hold a fire
in your hand by thinking on the
frosty Caucasus, the owners of the
above-mentioned property doubtless
had an analogous expedient in view
when they named their estate
“Greenland Ranch.”
The weather bureau has estab
1 ! a co-operative station at this
e, and the results of the obser
vat ions made here are discussed by
G- H. Willson in the Monthly
Weather Review.
The thermometers are installed in
a standard screen, placed over an
alfalfa sod. about four feet from
ike ground. The shelter is not ex
. •ised to the reflected heat of the
desert. The location is about 178
feet below sea level
On July 10 the maximum ther
mometer at Greenland Ranch regis
: red 134 degrees Fahrenheit, the
lighest “shade” temperature ever
recorded at a meteorological sta
tion anywhere in the world, and
" - degrees abovp the previous
‘record,” observed at Mammoth
Tank, also in California, on Aug.
17, 1885. Outside of the United
rotes the “record” for a regular
meteorological station appears to
127 degrees Fahrenheit, which
* red "at Wargia, Algeria, on the
> - of the Sahara desert. Aug. 27.
,884.
• Durin the hot spell in which this
extraordinary temperature was meas
>1 at Greenland Ranch, the daily
axima were" <** .follows: Eighth,
!2£ deg.; 9th, 129 deg-; 19th, 134
■leg.; 11th. 129 deg-; 12th. 130 deg-;
13th, 131 deg., and 14th, 127 deg.
rhroughout this frightful hot wave
the temperature never fell below 85
ieprees
The records made at this station
l ow that temperatures reaching 100
v more have occurred on 584 days,
: I may be expected at any time
■v ,m April to October, inclusive; the
K. ■ occurring in July, or August.
D peratures of 120 or more have

iverage daily maximum has always
exceeded 110 degrees
