IT IS HIS HABIT

There may have been doubt as to the exact details of what President Wilson would do at Paris, but one thing is now certain—he has consistently surrendered American interests. He surrendered American rights in the Panama Canail, he surrendered as long as he dared the right of Americans to sail the seas; he surrendered American markets to foreign producers under the near-free-trade tariff law; he surrendered to the four brotherhoods when they made their demands under threat to tie up the industries of the country; he surrendered the Democratic party to socialism, he surrendered to Huerta after demanding a salute to the flag in Mexica; he retreated after going into Mexico to “get Villa”; he preached the doctrine of surrender when he proclaimed America “too proud to fight;” he urged surrender when he asked for"peace without victory. What can you expect now but surrender to the Hun?
