LANSING'S NOTE
The Lansing communication Is as fol
lows: The Secretary of Slate to the Min
fer of Switzerland n charge of Ger
man Interest In America.
Department of State, Washington,
March 20, 1917.
Sir I beg to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your note of February 10,
4 presenting the proposals of tho Ger
, wan Oovornment for an Interpretative
-" and supplementary agreement as to
F . Artleln 23 nt the Irentv nf 17fl0. After
due consideration, I have to Inform
you that the Government of tho United
States Is not disposed to look with
favor upon the proponed agreement to
alter or supplement the meaning of
Artlclo 23 of this treaty. This position-
of the Government of the Ujjlted
States, which might under other con
ditions bo different, Is due to the re
peated violations by Germany of the
treaty of 182S and tho articles of the
treaties of 1785 and 1799 revived by
the treaty of 1S2S. It Is not necessary
to narrate In detail theso violations,
for tho attention of the German Gov
ernment has beon called to tho clr-
eumstances of each Instance of viola
tion, but Imny here refer to certain
of them briefly and In general terms.
BREACHES OF TREATY
Since the sinking of the American steam
Ship William P. Fry for the carriage of
contraband, there have been perpetrated
by the German naval lorces slmllnr un
warranted attacks upon and destruction of
numerous American vessels for tho rabon,
as alleged,- that they wcro engaged In trans
portation of articles of contraband, not
withstanding, and In disregard of, Article
II of the treaty of 17S9.
In addition to the sinking of American
vessel, foreign merchant vessels carrying
American" citiiens and American property
have 'been sunk by German submarines
without warning and without any adequate
security for the safety of the persona on
board (or compensation for tho destruction
f the property by such action, notwith
standing the solemn engagement of Article
IS of the treaty of 1799 that "all persons
belonging to any vessel of war, public or
private, who shall molest or Insult In any
manner whatever tho people, vessels or ef
fects of the other party, shall be responsible
in their persons and property for damages
and Interest, sufficient security for which

NOW PREPARES FOR LAND DEFENSE
WASHINGTON. March 26.
History must be made during tho current
week.
Next Monday an extraordinary session
of tho Sixty-fifth Congress will assemble
In the Capitol. It will receive from Pres
ident Wilson a complete account of his
rtewardshlp since the last Congress ad
journed. It will be made fully acquainted
with the Intolerable conditions which have
accompanied the placing Into effect of the
policy of armed neutrality by this Govern
ment against Germany. The murder of
Americana en the high seas through the I
torpedoing without warning; the unwar
ranted, detention within Germany of Amer
ican consular officials: tho forced with-
, drawal of American relief workers nnd
, Minister Wbltlock from Belgian noil, aban-
Iijl, donlng to want millions of destitutes and
many other acts pf unfriendliness tiy Ger

And then responsibility for the next step
will be shifted to the one body which under
the Constitution has the authority to de
clare war Congress.
During the n pet seven days President
Wilson will complete his message to Con
press. The final draft of the document will
hardly bo ready until a very few hours be
fore the extraordinary Besslon of Congress
convenes.
The President and the nation arc united
on what the answer to foreign aggression
must be. The only difference that will arise
will be how far this Government shall go
In Its reply. And that will be a subject for
discussion on the floor of the Senate and of
'the House by the members taf the new Co"n
gress, every one of whom Is fresh from
sensing the views of his constituents.

Moreover, since the severance of rela
tions between tho United States nnd
Germany certain American, citizens In
Gcrmnny have been prevented from re
moving freely frdm the country. While
this Is not a violation of the terms of
the treaty mentioned, It Is a disregard
of tho reciprocal liberty of Intercourse
between the two countries In tlmo ot
peace and cannot be taken otherwise
than as nn Indication of a purpose on
tho part of tho German Government to
disregard In tho event of War the sim
ilar liberty of action provided for In
Artlclo 23 of the treaty of 1799 the
very article which It Is now proposed
to Interpret and supplement almost
wholly In the Interest of the largo num
ber of German subjects residing In tho
United States and enjoying In their
persons or property tho protection of
tho United States Government.
SAFETY TO MERCHANTS
This artlclo provides In effect that
merchants of either country residing
In the other shall bo nllowcd a stated
time In which to remain to settlo their
nffalr.s and to "depart freely, carrying
off all their effects without molesta
tion or hindrance," and women and

as that enjoyed by neutral subjects and
neutral property In tho United States.
In view of the clear violations by the
German authorities of the plain terms
of tho treaties In question, solemnly
concluded on tho mutual understanding
that the obligations thereunder would
be faithfully kept. In view of the further
disregard of the canons of International
courtesy and the comity of nations In
the treatment of Innocent American
citizens In Germany, the Government of
tho United States cannot pcicelve any
advantage which would flow from
further engagements, oven though they

Imperial German Government In re
gurd to the meaning of any of the

mentary to them. In there circum
stances, therefore, the Government of
the United StatcH declines to enter Into
tho special protocol proposed by the
Imperial German Government.
MAY BREAK TERMS

Circumstances, to 'add thnt this Gov
ment Is seriously considering whether
or not the treaty of 1828 nnd tho re
vived nrticles of the treaties of 1785
and 1799 have not been In effect abro
gated by the German Government's
flagrant violations of their provisions,
for It would be manlfohtly unjust nnd
Inequitable to require ono party to an
agreement to observe Its stipulations
and to permit the other party to dis

Senate to decide when it meets. That body
Is the treaty-confirming branch of tho Gov

United States shall be Interned In the event
