TUB REVTBvf jtErosrtXLB. x. a FRIDAY, MARCH 2, HIT I "I 7 THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSES CONGRESS ON SUBMARINES President Wilson made an address to a joint scission Of both the branch es of Congress Monday afternoon on the question of armed neutrality of the United States, Following Is the nddress in full. "Gentlemen of the Congress: ' "I have again asked the privilege of addressing you because we are moving through critical times during which it seems to me to be my duty to keep in close touch with the house of Congress so that neither counsel nor action shall run at cross purposes between us. "On the third of February I oln- iaUy informed you of the sudden and unexpected action of the imperial Ger man government in declaring Us in tention to disregard the promises it nad imule to this government in April 1-ist and undertake immediate sub marine operations against all com merce, whether of bellgerents or of utrals, that should see iu i-i" Britain and ireiami, uic of Europe or me uti- nt Gnat Win tii- coasts or8 of the eastern Medlterannean. and to conduct these operations wi th lt regard to the established restr c - nractlce, witn- tions oi iihbiw- ,.,,, -n-nrH to any consiuci"vu of OUL "S"'" . . . .u inlrfnrn humanity even whicn mm- - .....u 4hir nhlect. That policy was pracuie. in active exei-uuuu UCT forthwith put into now 1 P. , 1 1 . u'AAkfl. tloal results are not fully disclosed. , "The commerce of other neutral na tions is suffering severely, but not. perhaps, very much more severely than it was already suffering before the first of February, when the new policy of the imperial government was it oration. We have asked JUl "I the cooperation of the other neutral governnuints to prevent tnese ni dations, but I fear none of them has (bought it wise to join us in any com mon course of action. "Our own commerce has suffered, is suffering rather in apprehension than in fact, rather because so many ot our ships are timidly keeping to their home ports than because Amer ican ships have been sunk. "Two American vessels have been sunk, the Housatonic and the Lyman M Law. The case of the Housaton ic" which was carrying foodstuffs con signed to a, London Una was essen tially like the case of the Frye in which it will be recalled, the German government admitted its liability for damages, and the lives of the crew, as in the case of the Frye, were safe guarded with reasonable care. "The case of the Law, which was carrying lemon box sWes to Palermo, disclosed a'ruthlessness of - method -which deserves grave conaemiidu, but was accompanied by no circum stance which might not have been expected at any time in connection with the use of the submarine against merchantmen as the, Gem, govern ment has used it. "In sum therefore, the situation we bind ourselves with regard to the ac tual conduct of the German submarine warfare against commerce ana its ex, fects upon our own ships and people fa substantially the - same that it was when I addressed you on the third of - February, except for the tying up of ,,r shinning in our own ports because of the unwillingness of our ship own ers to risk their vessels at sea w ni twit insurance or adequate protection end the very serious congestion of our commerce which has resulted, a congestion which is growing rapidly more and more serious every day. This in itself might presently accom plish, in effect, what the new German submarine orders were meant to ac complish, so far as we are concerned, we can only say, therefore, the overt act which I have ventured to hope the German commanders would in fact avoid has not occurred. "But while this is happily true, it must be admitted that, there have been certeli additional indications and expressions of purpose on their part of the German press and the German authorities which hare increased rath er than lessened the impression that if pur ships and our people are spared it will be a cause of fortunate cir cumstances or because the command ers of the German submarines which they may chjance encounter exercise rather than because of the instruc tions under which those commasders are acting. "It would be foolish to deny that tne situation is fiyilught with the grav est possibilities and dangers. No thoughtful man can fail to see that the necessity for definte action may come at any time, if we are in fact, and not in word merely, to defend our elementary rights en a neutral na tion. It would be most imprudent to be univcpared. "I cannot in such circumstances be unmindful pf the fact that the expir ation of the term of the present Con gress is immediately irt hand, by con stitutional limitation; and that it vould, in all likelihood, require an unusual length of time to assemble iml organize the Congress which is to succeed it. I feel that I ought in view of that fact, to obtain from you full and imniedfnrte assurance of the mthority which I may need at any moment to exercise. "No doubt I already possess that authority 'without special warrant of law by the plain implication of my constitutional duties and powers, but I prefer in the present circumstances, not to act upon general implication 1 wish to feel that the authoiity and the power of Congress are behinl me in whatever it may become necesslary for me to do. We are jointly the ser vants of the people and must act to gether and in their spirit, so far ias we can divine and interpret it. "No one doubts what it is our duty to do. We must defend our com merce and the lives of our people in the imidst of the present trying cir cumstances with discretion, but with clciair and steadfast purpose . Only . the method and the extent remain to be chosen, upon the occasion, if oc casion should indeed arise. i "Since it has unhappily proved im- nossible to slEufeguard our neutral rights by diplomatic means against the unwarranted infringements they are suffering at the hands of Germany, there may be no recourse but to armed neutrality, which we shall know how to maintain sund for which there is abundant American precedent. "It is devoutly to be hoped that it will not be necessary to put armed force wtyhere into action. Tho Ameri can people do not desire it, and our desire is not different frcim! theirs. I am sure that they will understand the spirit in which I am now acting, the purpose I hold nearest my heart ana I need give no further proofs and assurances than I have already given throughout nearly three years' of anxious patience that I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able . "I lam not now proposing or con templating war or any steps that need lead to it. I merely reqest that you will accord me by war our own vote and definite bestowal the means and authority to safeguard the right of a great people who are at peace and who are desirous of exercising none but the rights of peace, to follow the pursuit of peace in quietness and good -ni rights recoenized tiime out of mind bv all the civilized nations of the world. v 'iNo course of my choosing or of theirs will leJatd to war. War can come only by the willful act3 and ag gressions of others . i'You will understand why I can make no definite proposals of the fore casts of action now and must ask for your supporting authority in the Imost general terms . The form in which ac tum may become necessary cannot be foreseen' I believe that the people will be willing to trust me to act with jestrafnt, with prudence, and in the true spirit of aitnity and good faith that they have themselves displayed throughout these trying months; and it is in that belief that I request that you will authorize me to supply our merchant ships with defensive artns should that become necessary, Bind with the means of using them, andvto br family, of state, and of ultimate base our our existence and our liberty. I cannot Immagine any man with the American principles at his heart hesi tating to defend these rights.' Ueorg Sand.

"I have spoken of our commerce and of the legitimate errands of our peo ple on the seas, but you will not be misled as to my tmain thought, the thought that lies beneath these phrases and gives them dignity and weight. It is not of material interests merely that we are thinking, ft is rather of fundamental rights, of Americans to go and come about their business by way of the sea, but also of something much deeper, much more fundamental than that. I am thinkr Ing of those rights, of humanity with out which there is no civilization. My theme is of those great principles nt 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 kepmff the industrial pro cesses of the world quick and vital, the lives of women and children and of those who supply the labor which ministers to their sustenance. We are speaking of no selfish material rights but the rights which our hearts support and whose foundation is that righteous passion for Justice upon which all law, all structures alike of THE UNIVERSAL CAR Have been built and actually delivered to retail buyers since August J, 1916.
