BRYAN SEEKS AID OF
GERMAN-AMERICANS
[Continued from First Pa«o.]
United States and Germany with those
between the United States and Great
Britain because "the cases are differ
ent."
That Germany should acquiesce in
demands that have been made by the
United States without condition, trust
ing the "United States to deal justly
with her in the consideration of any
changes she may propose in the Inter
national rules that govern the taking
of prizes" growing out of submarine
warfare.
President Unjustly Criticised
Mr. Bryan declared that President
Wilson had been injustly criticised by
partisans of both sides in the Euro
pean conflict; expressed confidence that
German-Americans would stand by
their adopted country in case of war
between the United States and Ger
many; maintained that killing of inno
cent women and children, either by
drowning or starving, could not be jus
tified. and suggested a change in the
shipping laws to exclude passengers
from ships carrying contraband or
ammunition.
Mr. Bryan's statement was as fol
lows:
"June 11. 1915.
"To the German-Americans:
"Permit me to address a word to you
ns one American citizen speaking to
fellow-citizens In whose patriotism he
has entire confidence. It is natural
that in a contest between your father
land and other European nations your
sympathies should be with the coun
try of your birth. It Is no cause for
censure that this is true; it would be a
reflection upon you if it were not true.
Bo not the sons of Great Britain sym
pathize with their mother country?
Do not the sons of Franc© sympathize
with theirs? Ts not the same true of
Russia and of Italy? Why should it
not be true of those ytho are, born in
Germany or Austria? The trouble is
that the extremists on both sides have
mistaken a natural attachment felt for
birthplace for disloyalty to this
country.
"The Presiflent has been unjustly
criticised by the partisans of both
sides—th« very best evidence of his
neutrality. If he had so conducted
the government as to wholly please
either side it would excite not only as
tonishment, but misgivings, for parti
sans cannot give an unbiased ludg
ment; they will of necessity look at
the question from their own point of
view. Riving: praise or blame, accord
ing; as the act, regardless of its real
character, helps or hurts the side with
which they have aligned themselves.
"The fact that the administration
has received more criticism from Ger
man-Americans than from those in
sympathy with the allies is due to the
fact that, while both sides are at lib
erty. under international law, to pur
chase ammunition in the United States,
the allies, because of their control of
the seas, have the advantage of being
THE NEW OLDSMOBILE TOURING
I able to export it. It is unfortunate
that partisan supporters of Germany
should have overlooked the legal re
quirements of the situation and have
thus misunderstood the position of the
administration.
"The administration's position has
not only been perfectly neutral, but
it could not have been otherwise with
out a palpable and intentional vio
lation of the rules governing neu
trality. This government is not at lib
erty to materially change the rules of
international law during the war be
cause every change suggested is dis
cussed, not upon its merits as an ab
stract proposition, but according to the
effect it will have upon the contest.
Those who wanted to lay an embargo
upon the shipments of arms defended
thofr position on the ground that it
would hasten peace, but It is strange
that they could have overlooked the
fact that the only way in which such
action on our part could hasten peace
would have been by helping one side
to overcome the other.
"While the attacks made upon the
President by the extremists of both
sides were very unjust, it was equally
unjust to suspect the patriotism N of
those who took sides. I feel well
enough acquainted with the European
born Americans to believe that in a
war between this country and any
European power the naturalized citi
zens from that country would be as
quick to enlist as native-born citizens.
Trusts German-Americans
"As T am now speaking- to German-
Americans I am glad to repeat in pub
lic what I have often said in private,
and would have said in public before
but for the fact that it would not have
been proper for one in my official
position to do so—namely, that in case
of war between the United States and
Germany—lf so improbable a suppo
sition can be considered—German-
Americans would be as prompt to en
list and as faithful to the flag as any
other portion of our people. What T
have said in regard to the German-
Americans is an introduction to an
appeal which I feel it my duty to
make to them.
"First—lf any of them have ever in
a moment of passion or excitement
suspected the President of lack of neu
trality or lack of friendship toward
the German people, let that thought be
forgotten, never again to be recalled.
"I have, since my resignation, re
ceived numerous telegrams from Ger
man-Americans and German-American
societies commending my action; 1
think the senders of these telegrams
understand my position, but that no
one may mistake It. let me restate it.
The President is not only desirous of
peace, but he hopes for It, and he has
adopted the methods which he thinks
most likely to contribute toward peace.
Sty difference from him is as to
method, not as to purpose, and my
utterances since resigning have been
intended.to crystallize public sentiment
in support of his efforts to maintain
peace or, to use a familiar phrase,
'Peace with honor."
"But remember that when I use
the phrase 'peace with honor' T do not
use It in the same sense that those do
who regard every opponent of war as
favoring 'peace at any price.' 'Peace
at nny price' is an epithet, not a true
statement of anyone's position or of
the policy of any group. The words
are employed by jingoes as an expres
sion of contempt and are applied indis
criminately to all who have faith in
the nation's ability to find a peaceful
way out of every difficulty so long as
both nations want peace.
"The alarmists of the country have
had control of the metropolitan press
and they have loudly proclaimed that
the prolongation of negotiations or the
suggestion of international Interven
tion would be sign of weakness—and
everything Is weakness that does not
contain a hint of war. The jingo sees
In the rainbow of promise only one
color —red.
"Second—Knowing that the Presi
dent desires peace. It Is your duty to
help him secure It, and how? By ex
erting your influence to convince the
German government of this fact and to
persuade that government to take no
steps that would lead in the direction
of war. My fear has been that the
German government might, despairing
of a friendly settlement, break off
diplomatic relations, and thus create
a condition out of which war might
come without the Intention of either
country.
Be Fair to President
"I do not ask you to minimize the
earnestness of the President's state
ment—that would he unfair, both to
him and Germany. The sinking of the
T.usitania cannot, be defended upon the
farts as we understand them. The
killing of innocent women and chil
dren cannot be Justified, whether the
killing is by drowning or starving: no
nation can successfully plead the in
humanity of her enemies as an excuse
for inhumanity on her own part.
"While It is true that cruelty Is apt
to beget cruelty, it cannot be said that
'like cures like.' Even in war we are
not absolved from the obligation to
remedy evils by the influence of a good
example. Let your lights so shine' is
a precept that knows no times nor sea
sons. as it knows neither latitude nor
longitude.
"Third—Do not attempt to connect
the negotiations which are going on
between the United States and Ger
many with those between the United
HAHKISBURG TELEGRAPH
States and Great Britain. The cases
are different, but even if they were the
same it would be necessary to treat
with each nation separately. My per
sonal preference has been, to repeat
our insistance that the allies shall not
interfere with our commerce with neu
tral countries, but the difference on
this point, was a matter of judgment
and not a matter of principle. In the
note to Great Britain, dated March 30,
this government said:
" 'ln view'of these assurances for
mally Riven to this government, it is
confidently expected that the exten
sive powers conferred by the order in
council on the executive officers of the
crown will be restricted by "orders
issued by the government" directing
the exercise of their discretionary pow
ers in such a manner as to modify in
practical application those provisions
of the order in council which, if
strictly enforced, would violate neutral
rights and interrupt legitimate trade.
Relying on the faithful performance
of these voluntary assurances liy his
Majesty's government, the United
States takes it for granted that the
approach of American merchantmen
to neutral ports situated upon the
long line of coast affected by the order
in council will not be Interfered with
when it Is known that they do not
carry goods which are contraband of
war or goods distined to or proceeding
from ports within the belligerent ter
ritory affected."
W anted to Steer Germany
"There is no doubt that our govern- |
ment will insist upon this position; |
that is an important thing, the exact |
date of the note is not material. My j
reason for desiring to have the matter I
presented to Great Britain at once was ]
not that Germany had any right to i
ask it, but because I was anxious to
make it as easy as possible for Ger
many to accept the demands of the !
United States and cease to employ sub- j
marines against merchantmen.
"There is no reason why any Ger
man-Americans should doubt the
President's intention in this matter.
I am sure that every one will, on re
flection, recognize that our duty to
prevent loss of life is more urgent than
our duty to prevent interference with
trade—loss of trade can be compen
sated for with money, but no settle
ment that the United States and Ger
many may reach can call back to life
those who went down with •the Lusi
tania—and war would be the most
expensive of all settlements because
it would enormously add to the num
ber of the dead.
"Fourth—-I hope that Germany will
acquiesce In the demands that have
been made and I hope that she will
acquiesce in them without conditions.
She must trust the United States to
deal justly with her in the consid
eration of any changes that she may
propose in the international rules that
govern the taking of prizes. The more
generously she acts in this matter the
greater will be the glory which she will
derive from it. She has raised a ques
tion which is now receiving serious
consideration, namely, whether the in
troduction of the submarine necessi
tates any change in the rules govern
ing the capture of prizes.
"The position seemingly taken bj.
Germany, namely, that she is entitled
to drown noneombatants because they
ride with contraband, is an untenable
position: the most that she could insist
upon is that, in view of the intro
duction of this new weapon of war
fare. new rules should be adopted—
separating passengers from objection
able cargo.
"If the use of the submarine justifies
such a change in the law of blockade
as will permit the cordon to be with
drawn far enough from the shore to
avoid the danger of submarine attack,
may it not be found possible to secure
an international agreement by which
passengers will be excluded from ships
carrying contraband, or at least from
those carrying ammunition? It would
require but a slight change in the ship
ping laws to make this separation and
belligerent nations might be restrained
from unnecessarily increasing the con
traband list if they were compelled to
carry contraband on transports as they
now carry troops.
"Personally. I would like to see the
use of submarines abandoned entirely,
just as I would like to see an abandon
ment of the use of aeroplanes and
Zeppelins for the carrying of explo
sives. hut I am not sanguine enough to
believe that any effective instrument
of warfare will be abandoned as long
as war continues.
"The very arguments which the ad
vocates of peace advance against the
submarine, the aeroplane and the Zep
pelin are advanced in favor of them by
those who conduct war. The more
