But the President had information in his pos session which made it impossible. "This country is ready and Con gress is ready. While the vote , has not been recorded, the' decision has been made. It is war. v "I cannot vote against war," Senator Hitchock said in conclusion, "without doing a vain and foolish thing. It would only serve to weaken my coun try In the face of the, enemy and the world when war is inevitable. I am ready now to take my place with those who will back up the President for the. honor and protection of the Na tion." Senator Swanson said the German government "has repeatedly and gross ly violated its treaty obligations to us and wantonlv broken solemn assur- War has-already been declared upon us. The issue is whether we shall ac cept war or abject and cowardly sub mission." Reciting the sinking of the Ameri can ships German plots and outrages in this country, Senator Swanson said the Zimmermann plot to incite Mex co against this country "reaches the owest depth of national turpitudes." ' "The absurdity of the scheme;" said the Virginia Senator, "does not . lessen its shameless enormity. The fact that it fell upon unwilling ears does not lessen our belief that the German government, when oppresssd, is will ing to do. us serious harm and mis chief. "We have long suspected a, dispo sition by Germany. to dispute the Monroe Doctrine.

' ; r f "The advocates of peace now would place upon: this Nation the shame of a still greater submission They would endure still greater affronts and suf fer still greater -submission." Senator Swanson asked if the warn ings given Germany , against ruthless submarine warfare were '"mere emp ty boasts and bluff or the- solemn voice of a resolute people." "No," he said; "Congress will not by cowardly action declare that diplo matically we roar, and . then when rebuffed strike with the gentle hand of a woman' r -Armed neutrality would now be a cowardly makeshift," said Senator Swanson. "We cannot avoid war. When the war-made autocracy that now ; rules Germany has been chas? tened or , overthrown, the case , of friendship now severed will be re united. " "The clock1 of National patriotism now strikes for each of us our hour of work and responsibility." Senator" Lodge, ranking Republican of, the Foreign Relations -Committee, said: ' - : - - ' ' - "This is. a. moment for action and not for debate," but he wished to state why he supported the resolution. "We hate submitted, to wrongs and outrages-from the Central Powers of fiurope-wrongs which ? involve not only injury to property; bat the de struction of. American lives -with a long patience," said Senator- Lodge, "Wet have borne and foreborne to the very limit of . endurance. . Now the inevitable ; end is , here and we are about to declare war, against Germany. . -4Speaking or- myself and, I hope, for - my associates - generally on this side of the chamber, I desire to say that . in this crisis and when the country is at war, party lines will dis appear, and this disappearance of the party line will; I am confident, not ba confined to the : minority. ; Both Democrats and Republicans must" for est narty in the presence of the common danger. As Americans, we shall all, ; I am sure,, be prepared to give to the executive money men, and all the necessary powers for wag ing war with , energy and driving . it forward; to a successful . conclusion.
