(Issued by The Committee on Public Information The Secretary of
State, The Secretary of War, The Secretary of the Navy, George Croel
Washington, D. C. June 25, 1917.) . ;,
, With the definite break in diplo
matic rotations there vanished the
last vestigo of cordiality toward the
Government of Germany. Our atti
tude was now to change. So long as
we had maintained a strict neutrality
fn the war, for the reason that cir
cumstances might ariso in which Eu
rope would have need of on impartial
mediator, for us to have given official
hoed to the accusations of either party
would have been to prejudge the case
before all the evidence was in. But
now at lost, with the breaking of
"friendly; relations with the Gorman
to us of things so abhorrent to our
ideas of humanity that they had
seemed incredible, things we had' been
loath to believe, and with heavy
hearts we had sought to reserve our
judgment.' But with the breaking of
relations with the Government of
Germany that duty at last was ended.
The perfidy of that Government in its
dealings with this Nation relieved us
of' the necessity of striving to give
them the benefit of the doubt in re
gard to their crimes abroad. The
Government which under cover of
profuse professions of .friendship had
tried to embroil us in war with Mexi
co and Japan could not expect us to
believe in its good faith in other mat
ters. The men whose paid agents
dynamited our factories hero were
capable of the infamies reported
against them over tho sea. Their
Government's protestations, that their
purpose was self-defense and the free
ing of small nations, fell liko a house
of cards before the revelation of their
j "peace terms."
And judging the German Govern
ment now in tho light of our own ex
perience through the long and pa
tient years of our honest attempt to
keep the peace, wo could see the Great
Autocracy and read her record
through the war. And we found that
record damnable. Beginning long be
fore the war in Prussian opposition to
every effort that was made by other
nations and our own to do away with
warfare, the story of the Autocracy
has been one of vast preparations for
war combined with an attitude of ar
rogant intolerance toward all oJ.her
points of view, all other systems of
government, all other ' hopes and
dreams of men. With a fanatical
I faith in the destiny of German kultur
las the system that must rule the
I world, the Imperial Government's
actions have through years of boast
ing, double dealing, and deceit tended
! toward aggression upon the rights of
others. And if there still be any
doubt as to which nation began this
, war, there can be no uncertainty as to
which one was most prepared, most
exultant at the chance, and ready in
stantly to march upon other nations
1 even those who had given no offense.
iThe wholesale depredations and hid
; eous atrocities in Belgium and in Ser
bia wore doubtless part and parcel
I with the Imperial Govemment's..pur-
Z !poso to terrorize small nations into
J abject submission for generations to
i come. But in this the Autocracy has
J been blind. For its record in those
countries, and in Poland and in north
5 em France, has given not only to the
'Allies but to liberal peoples through-
out the world the conviction that this
menace to human liberties everywhere
must be utterly shorn of its power
for harm.
For the evil it has effected Kas

tihe other, in order that the liberal
world might not be able to unite, in
order that the Autocracy : might
emerge triumphant from the war.
All this we know from our own ex
perience with the Imperial Govern
ment. As they have dealt with Eu
rope, so. they have dealt with us and
with all mankind. And so out of these
years the conviction has grown that
until tho German Nation is divested
of such rulers democracy cannot be
safe.
There remained but one element to
confuse the issue. One other great
autocracy, the Government of the I
Russian Czar, had long been hostile to
free institutions; it had been a strong
hold of tyrannies reaching far back
into tho past: and its presence amonir
the Allies had seemed to be in dis-'
accord with the great liberal prin-1
ciples they were upholding in this '
war. Russia had been a source of
doubt. Repeatedly during the con
flict liberal Europe had been startled
by the news of secret accord between
the Kaiser and the Cxar.
But now at this crucial time for
our Nation, on the eve of our en
trance into the war, the free men of
all the world were thrilled and heart
ened by tho news that the people of
Russia had risen to throw off their
Government and found a new democ
racy; and the torch of freedom in
Russia lit up the last dark phases of
the situation abroad. Here indeed
was a fit partner for the League of
Honor. Tho conviction was finally
crystallized in American minds and
hearts that this war across the sea
was no mere conflict between dynas
ties but a stupendous civil war of all
the world; a new cnmpniini in the acre
thus been thrust upon the United
States is hereby formally declared;
and that the President be, and he is
hereby, authorized and directed to em
ploy the entire naval and military
forces of the United States and ther re
sources of the Government to carry on
war against the Imperial German
uoverameni; ana w oring ine con- j mn
fiict to a successful termination all
the resources of the country are here
by pledged' by tho Congress of the
Unitqd States." .
Neutrality was a thing of the pat.
The time had come when the Presi
dent's proud prophecy was fulfilled:
"There will come that day when the
world will say, "This America that we
thought was full of a multitude of ocm
trary counsels now speaks with the
great volume of the heart's accord,
and that great heart of America has
behind it the supreme moral force of
righteousness and hope and the liberty
of mankind."
