' CALLS ON CONliRESS ■ ♦ - — TEXT OF WILSON’S ADDRESS TO BOTH HOUSES MONDAY WANTS MORE AUTHORITY ProaAdrat A#»kn Broad Ifowrrs to Moot U-Boat Warfare—Right to Arm 8hl|)a Aakod and to Kmploy “Other laNtramentalitieN" That May Bo ; v . Noodoi!. Prealdont Wilnon appeared boforo CongrewH at, 1 o’clock Monday after noon and ankod for autho'rKy to pjaro tl.o L’nltcd State:, in a of “anpod neutrality’' to roHiot the German submarine menace. Once before, in the infancy of jhe republic, a state of armed neutrality was proclaimed to check “predatory Violence” upon American riKhts, in the war between France and Fn^- lend, but it did not result actually in war for the United States. Whether another armed neutrality Will mean uar depends on whether Germany realizes that the United States is rcadytoy rteotc slirdlucm States is ready to protect its neutral riKhts by whatever means are nwes- •ary. With a full realization of the sol emnity of the occasion the president look his action Monday .with the calm confidence that Uonuress and ( IbA country will stand Ixdiind him President Wilson arrived at the Capitol Just before 1 o’clock and promptly at that hour stepped up to the clerk’s desk in thu hall of the Louse, where both branches of Uon- gresa. meeting In apodal joint ses- tion, were assembled before him He •poke as follow s: '*(lentlemen of the Uongress I kave asked the privilege of address ing you bocaus* we arc moving |hrough critical times during which It »e« nis to me to be my duty to keep Id close touch ulth the houses of Congress so that neither counsel nor •rtion shall run at cross purposes L«t w»»en u» •‘On the 3rd of February I offi cially informed you of the sudden •nd uneii>ected action of the Im perial Berman government In de claring Its Intention to disregard the promises It had made to this gov ernment In April last and undertake Immediate submarine operations •gainst all commerce. * hether °f belligerent* or of neutrals. that Should M*«-k to approach Brest Ilrt- Utn and Ireland, the AtlantU roasts •f Kurope, or the harbor* of the •astern Mediterranean and to con duct those operations without re gard to the established restriction* •f inter national practice sithoul re gard la any considerations of hu Bianlty even which might intarfera With their object That policy was forthwith put Into practice It has now been m active elocution for •anrly four weeks Ita practical re sults are not fully dlacdosed ‘The commerce of other neutral nations I* suffering severely but not perhaps very much more Severely than it was already suffer lag before the 1st of February, whan the new policy of the Imperial gov ernment was put Into operstlon We Lavs asked the ro operation of tba other neutral governments to pravant lLaaa depredations but 1 fear non# Of them has thought It wise to Join •s lo any common course of action “Our own commerce hat tufferwd. la anffering rather In apprehenalon than In fact, rather because so many of our ahlpa are timidly keeping to their home porta than because Amer ican ahlpa have been sunk. “Two American vessels have been sunk, the Houaatonlc and the Lyman M 1w The case of the Houtatonl:, which was carrying foodstuffs con- algned to a Londtfti firm, was essen tially like the caae of the Frye. In which It will be recalled the Ger man government admitted its liabil ity for damages and the Uvea of the crew as In the case of the Frye were safeguarded with roasonable care “The caee of the Ijiw. which was carrying lemon box staves to Paler mo. disclosed a ruthlessness of the method which deserves grave con demnation. but was accompanied by no circumstances which might not have been expected at any time In connection with the use of subma rine against merchantmen as the Berman government lias used it “In sum, therefore, the situation we find ourselves in regard to the actual conduct of the Berman sub marine warfare against commerce and its effects upon our own ships ami people is substantially the same that it was when 1 addressed you on the 3rd if February, except for the tying up of our shipping in our own porU because of the unwillingness of our ship owners to risk their vessels at sea witjiout insurance or adequate protection of our commerce which lias resulted, a congestion which is growing rapidly more and more seri ous every day. This in itself might presently accomplish, in effect, what the new Berman submarine orders were meant to accomplish, so far as we are concerned. We can only say, therefo.e, that the overt act wtiich I have ventured to hope the Berman commander:- would In fact avoid, was not occurrc-. ' “Hut whih this is happily true, it must bo ad i ’tted that there have .been .certain additional indications and exprossit s of purpose on the paft of the* <’ rman press snd the Berman aut . itlea which have in creased rathe than lessened the im pression that f pqr ships and our people are spa "A it will he O'c-aiiM* of fortunate c rcuinstances or be cause the con manders of the Ber- happen to enco mer exercise an un expected dlscr* ion and restraint rather than ber.tuae of the Instruc tion! under which those commanders are acting. “It would be f'K>liah to deny that tbs situation la fraught with tbs thoughtful mas can fail to ••• that tbs necessity for corns at aay time. It ws are la fact, and not la word merely, to defoad our elementary rights ss -a neutral pstloa. R would be moat imprudent to be unprepared. “I can not In such circumstances be unmindful of the fact that the ex piration of the term’ of the preeent Congress is Immediately at hand, by constitutional limitation; and that, It would In all likelihood require an unusual length of time to assemble and organize the congresa which Is to succeed it. 1 feel that l ought. In view of that fact, to obtain from you full and Immediate aaaurance of tha authority which I may need at any moment to exerclf'e. “No doubt I already possess that authority without special warrant of law, by the platp Implication of my constitutional duties and powers, but I prefer, In the present circum stances, not to act upon general irn^ plication. I wish to feel that the authority and the power of the.Con gress ate behind me in whatever It may h^ome necessary'for me to do. We are jointly th^ servants of (ho people and must act together and In their spirit, so far as we can divine and interpret it.. “No one doubts what it is our duty to do.- We must defend our commerce and the lives of; our peo ple in the midst of the present try ing circumstances, with discretion hut with blear and steadfast pur pose. Only the method -and the .ex tent remain to be chosen, upon.the occasion, if occasion should indeed arise. "Since Jt has unhappily proved impossible to safeguard our neutral rights by diplomatic means against the unwarranted Infringements they are suffering at the hands of Ger many, there may be no recourse but to armed neutrality, which we shall know how to maintain and for Which there is abundant American prece dent “it is devoutly to be hoped that it will not be necekaary to put armed force anywhere into action. The American people do not desire it and our desire is not different- from theirs. I am sure that they will understand the spirit In which I am now acting, the purpoae I hold near est my heart and would with to ex hibit In everything I do “1 am anxious that the people of the nations at war also should under stand and not mistrust ua. • I hope tYiat I need give no further proofs and futaurancea than I .have already given throughout nearly three years of anxtoda patience that I- am the friend of peace and mean to preserve It for America mi fbng an I am able, “I am not now proposing or con templating war or any steps that need lead to It I merely regnnnt that you will accord me by your own vnt" and definite bestowal the mean* and the authority to safeguard In practice the right of a great people * ho love peace and who are desirous of exercising none but the vighta of l»**ace to follow the pursuit of pence in quietneas and good will -rlghta recognis'd time out of mind by all the rlilllxed nations of the world, No course of my choosing or of theirs will lead to war Wat can coma only by the wilful acts and aggres sion* of others “You will understand why I • an make no definite proposals "or fore- «*a»ta of action now and must a*k for your supporting authority in the most general terms I believe that the people will be willing to treat mo to act with reatmint. with prndence and in the true spirit of amity and good faith that they have thwelv displayed throughout tkaao trying months, and It la in that belief that I request that you will authorise mo to supply our merchant ahlpa with defensive arms should that becomn necessary, tad with the mennn of using them, and to employ gay other tnatrumentalities or methods that may be necessary and adequate to protect our ahipe and our people Hi their legitimate and peaceful par suits on the sens I request also that you will grant me at the same time, along with the powers I ask. a suffi cient credit to enable me to provide adequate means of protection where they are lacking. Including adequato insurance against the present war rinks “1 have spoken qf our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our people on the ness, but you will not he mislead‘an to my main thought, the thought that lien beneath these phrases and gives them dignity- and weight. It in not of national Inher ent* merely that we are thinking. It Is. rather, of fundamental human rightn. chief of all the right of life itself I am thinking not only 6i the rightn of Americans to go and come about their proper buninenn by way of the sea, hut also of some thing much deeper, much more fun damental than that. “I am thinking of those rights of’ humanity without which there-is no civilization. My theme is of these great principles of compassion and of protection which mankind has sought to throw about human lives, the lives of combatants, the lives of men who are peacefully at work keeping the quick and vital, the. Jives of women and children and of those w*ho sup ply the labor which ministers to their sustenance. We are speaking of n« selfish material rights, but of rights which our hearts support and whose foundation is'that righteous passion for justice upon which all law’, all structures alike of family, of state and of mankind must rest, as upon the ultimate base of our ex-, istence and our. liberty. I can not imagine any man with American principles at heart hesitating to de fend these things.” A !• for ADENOIDS no child ihould own. B la for HREATHI'NO to giro the lungs tone.
