S. Portland, Ore.—A review of the In consistencies of the present Demo cratic Administration, particularly in its dealings with the belligerent pow ers ot Europe and with Mexico, was presented by Theodore E. Burton, Ohio's candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. Mr. Burton, who is ex United States Senator from Ohio, spoke under the auspices of the Oregon Republican Club. His address was essentially political in its nature, but in view of the present difficulties confronting the Nation it was touched throughout with a high’, k 'riotic tone The i.*’..enee manifested its unequi vocal approval by a tremendous ova tion when he said: “At times like this we are not Re publicans nor Democrats, Socialists or Prohibitionists, we are American citi zens." But Senator Burton was emphatic in his declaration that the very presence of these international complications calls for firmness and experience in handling the affairs of the Nation, Under such conditions and under such circumstances, he asserted, the thoughts of the people instinctively turn to the Republican party—the party ot experience, the party of capa bility, the party of accomplishment. "The one fact more obvious than any other in all the conflicting current of events,” he said, "is that the pres ent ignoble status of the United States in relation to other countries has been brought about by the halting, the va cillation and the hesitancy of the pres ent Administration." He then took up in detail a discus sion of the present Administration's conduct of international affairs, say- ing: “Now the President makes the most extravagant speeches for prepared ness; he says we must have the larg est Navy in the world; he says that no man can tell what a day or an hour may bring forth. It was surely just as obvious when the first gun was fired in Europe that the United States must be ready to protect Itself as it is to day. There is such a thing as being too late to prepare, but when danger threatens there is no such thing as be ing too early. Yet the Administration has been on both sides of this question with equal extravagance of assertion, with equal impatience of all who dis agree and with equal inability there fore to convince anyone of its entire sincerity. “And what is it all about? Here again the whole difficulty arose from the exercise of those two conspicuous talents of the present Administration, the passion for interference in the af fairs of other nations and the inability to keep away from both sides of the same question. "On February 10. 1915, the Adminis tration warned the German govern ment of the consequences of carrying out the policy foreshadowed in its ad miralty proclamation in case it should result In destroying any merchant ves sel of the United States or in causing the death of American citizens, and threatened to hold the German gov ernment to a strict accountability for any such' act. “A note from the Secretary of State on May 15, last, limited the rule that lives of noncombatants of neutral or other states should not be put in jeo pardy to such as sailed on unarmed merchantmen. "The word 'unarmed' is important But. departing from these earlier dec larations, in the latter part of January, 1916, the State Department, in a note to the various powers sought to induce the allies to disarm their merchant men and placed especial stress on the disadvantages of submarines in con flict with armed merchantmen, saying in substance it would not be fair that the submarines should be compelled to expose themselves to destruction from such vessels and that merchant men should not be permitted to carry armament at all. stating further that the United States Government was seriously considering the announce ment of its purpose to treat a mer chant vessel carrying guns as an aux iliary cruiser because of the changed conditions in maritime warfare result ing from the introduction of the sub marine and its defenseless character. “After the publication of this note Germany and Austria-Hungary on or about February 10 very promptly an nounced that on and after March 1 they would regard all merchantmen carrying armament as warships and would exercise the right to destroy them without warning. "What did the President do then? He said: 'No, for such a course would involve the loss of American cit izens. and American citizens have the right to travel on merchantmen armed for defense.’ Thus we attempted to persuade Eugland and d'rance to give up a right which they claimed under internation al law, but would not ask American citizens to yield a right which we al leged belonged to them under the same law. "In other words, we took the post tlon that England and France had no right to arm their merchantmen, for thus they became warships. while, on the other hand, only a few weeks later we maintained that although they were warships. Germany had no right to sink them without warning. "So it appears that the whole con troversy, of which the end is not yet fraught as it is with so much danger to the peace of the United State* dis cussed from one «nd of the country to the other, causing the most acrimoni ous debates for many years In Con gress and leading to a spilt In the party charged with the responsibility of government, was brought about bv shifting our position and taking a stand directly contrary to ths one first assumed.'
