well to remember the -eaponHiblllty
of the aenatn. Neither peace nor war
can be made without the consent of
the senate. The power to declare
war teats under the constitution with
the congress.
That Priceless War.
"When the president lays an inter
national controversy before congress
he takes the Inst step that precede*
war." continued Senator Lodge. "The
president might have taken further I
stops hut he has come to the body
which alone has power to declare
war I think he liss done well With
congress In session It was right that
he should take no further steps with
out consulting congress."
Senator laslge recounted the legls
latlve proceedings which led up to
passage of the Spanish war resolu
tion and Senator Williams asked how
long It took congress to pass that.
"It took much more than one day,'
replied Senator Lodge.
Senatoi lat Follette stated con

up the resolution.
"This resolution uses the word

sriie res dt will he the same This
resolution does not contemplate the
declaration of war. The I'restdent in

Armed Intervention
"The .-onsequenees of armed inter

loss of life perhaps, and after months 1
and possibly years, possibly only the \

After reviewing tile Tampico Inci
dent Senator Lodge declared:
Wat No Insult.
"There is no doubt in my ndmt that I
that Incident at Tampico constituted j
an Insult to the American flag and tha j
Am< i lean uniform. No nation can al

"I have no desire to criticise Presi

strongly as 1 can the methods of

myself In a position whleh by dis
tortion of the acts which vve take here

would put me behind Villa, Villa who

whose pathway has been marked with

The Substitute.
"It Is for that reason thta the mi
nority of the committee on foreign
relations has presented Hie substitute
for tile preamble of the resolution,"
asserted Senator Lodge.
"Not one sentence cun lie denied.
Kach is a melancholy truth."
Mr. Lodge said the first act under
the resolution would he the taking of
Vera t'ruz.
"'' wr " engaged at this moment,"
Senator Lodge declared, "not only In
dealing with a question Involving the
gravest responsibilities that can con
front tlu* congress lull, as not often
happens, we are participating in a
great historic action.
Before the World.
"The grounds for our action here
today will lie before the world and
will come to the tribunal of history.
"If we are to intervene in Mexico
at any point, 1 want It on broad, but
tlclent grounds, I want to strip it of
any personal character; to lift It up
from the level of personal hostilities
and place it on the broad ground of
great national action taken In the
Interest of and lor the protection of
American lives In a foreign country
and for the purpose also of restoring
peace and order. If we can "
"Paramount Importance."
Senator Shively said the pending
resolution was of "paramount import
ance "
"The attempted parallel between
present proceedings and proceedings
leading up to the declaration of war
with Spain is futile," he said "It Is
never too late to declare war; It may
easily become too late to secure
pesce Thst action was a declaration
of war This resolution Is a good faith
effort to preserve peace."
He said the president did not ask
congress tor "authority"' because lie
did not wish to pursue a war. Mr
Shively said that the lavdge preamble
would have no result but war.
Expedition Vital
"Expedition here Is vital." said
Senator Shively emphatically, because

"Would the seizure of Vera t'ruz.
by force he an act of peace or an act
of war?" asked Senator Brondegee.
"It would not he an act of war,"
replied Mr Shively; "It would he an
act of reprisal. On many occasions
liss the United State* landed forces
an 1 seized property and no war has
ensued."
Senator Shively Insisted the true
complaint was of acts, not assaults
or private persona or property, but
acts that had all the evidence of be
Ing meant as Insults to the United
States government
"It was a plain, deliberate assault
on our uniform on all out navy stands
for" said Senator Shively, referring
to the Tampico Incident.
"The situation In Mexico Is had

and at the same time to impress upon

Danger to Thousands.
Senator Shlveley said those “who
had been clamoring for Intervention"
had not thought of the danger to the
thousands of American ctizens in
Mexico.
"I do not believe that the former
administration trifled with this ques
tion any more than the present one
has. While I do not minimize what
has happened in Mexico, I say it is a
marvel in view of the character of that
people, with 6(1.0(10 of our citizens
there that we have escaped without
a greater number of casualties," he
declared.
Declaration of War.
Referring to the Lodge preamide.
Senator Shively declared:
"This j i reposed preamble would
transform this resolution into a dec
laration of war. If we are to make a
declaration of war then let us make It.
Let us not engage in the snivelling
l’hurlseeism of citing facts which
Justify war and instant war and then
adopt these resolutions We are in
the same breath to declare a halt

clared with Mexico ami in concluding

to do so.
"There can be no question as to
what the natural effect of that pre
amble would be if addressed to any
great power of the world. All the
recitations of the resolves would be
idle.
Distinction Drawn,
"There is n oeffort in this preamble
to draw a distinction between thoa
who are to blame and those who are
not to Maine. It is a declaration of
war in ttie preamble against the en
tire Mexican pesple," continued Sen
ator Shively. "You is thundering
In the preamble ad whispering in the
text.
"While not minimizing the murders
of American citizens in Mexico, I cer
tainly cannot minimize that Insult de
livered to our sailors at Tampico. The
flag is not a tawdry plec of bunting.
The uniform of our sailors stands for
something. And If an incident like
this can pass w ithout pressing demand
for rep.nation there will be less se
curity than ever for our citizens in
Mexico. Tula preamble is out of Joint
w Itli the resolution."
Anxious for War.
Senator Shively said that senators
who are anxious for war may well
wait until "this resolution is tried as
a means of peace."
"I submit that the reasons are many
and solid, why this substitute should
not he adopted," Senator Shively con
tinued "It can do no good. It has
a tendency to defeat the very' pur
pose of tile resolution. It Is never
too late to recite all those things If
the last dread resort should come. But
If we are to try to avoid a general
armed conflict 1 contend It ts a bud
thing to recite all your grievances."
said Senator Shively. "ft is Idle to
protest we are not going to war and
at the same time make all the mo
tions calculated to provoke open arm
ed and genral conflict."
Not Fully Civilized.
Senator in support of the
committee resolution, said the world
was "not yet fully clvtlUed."
The time iea> come." he
"when the arrest of a sailor from a
boat flying a tlag at bow and stern
wll| he laughed at us a cause of war.
Hut toilsv if the president had over
looked this Insult to the flag he would
have ooen condemned from every
and valley in the United States. There
fore with the world semi-barbaric,
seml-dvlUzed, I must support the
president
I want.' said Senate# Williams,
"this resolution to be so worded that
the world shall know tt shall he war
on Huerta until either Huerta salutes
that flag or Huerta become* an Amer-
I lean prtsi scr or Huerta were so die."
There was a burst of cheering from
a comer In one of the galleries and
the sergeant-nt-arm* removed about
a hundred men.
