Wickersham Arraigns U. S.

The national capitol was startled Saturday by a signed statement from George W. Wickershaf, who was attorney general in Taft’s cabinet, in which he declared that if the United States did not rise from its spineless attitude it will sink to the level of China. He asserted that the motto of the United States did not seem safety first out “safety first, last and all the time.” “We should cancel all our diplomatic relations with a country that has declared war on civilization, recall our ambassador from Germany and hand Count Bemstorff his passports.”
