Present Administration
Honestly Criticised
Under the bead of ’Wilson Head
ed for War With Germany,” the ot
ter of the Sew York Tribune re
cently opened a series of Washing
ton dispatches on the German situ
ation which have attracted wale-.
spread attention. The editor does
not share the sentiments of those
who admire President Wilson's
course in European diplomacy, and
while it is the duty of all ci tile ns to
support the President is times of
stress, yet fair and horses: eriticsai
of public politics should always be
welcomed. For this reason the
Tribune articles serve a useful pur
pose. The editor points out that in
his first note of protest against
Germany's submarine policy the
President used the words '‘strict ac
countability,’’ which have a tore of
fatality usually associated with ar.
cl.imatum. He contends tint neith
er Mr. Wilson nor .* :s ac:risers refi
lled ;i>e force of their words at the
time, and it was not until the de
struction of the Lusitania brought
forth a wave of public indignation
that they saw that their position
could only be made tenable by a re
solve to fight if reparation was re
fused. At first the administration
was gratified to be hailed as the
champion of neutral rights and inter
national law—but it hadn't any idea
of fighting to sustain the champion
ship. At Use same time it was impos
sible to back down, and the Presi
dent was in the unpleasant position
of having said the last word first.
Great pressure was brought to bear
on the President by German sympa
thizers and peace-at-any-price men
and tbs Democratic politicians be
came alarmed. They represented
to the President that war meant the
downfall of the party while peace
made its success certain. Thus it
was the duty of the administration
to find a way oat cf the affair with
out resorting to war.
