i MUfll PBEPAHED III BUCK SPEECH
; THAT CARRIED UICLE SAM TO WAR
Will Employ All Resources to
Bring Germany to Terms
and End Strife
Call ta Anns Found Manufac
turers of Country Ready to
Give Undivided Support
Characterizing the present
German submarine warfare as
"a warfare against mankind,"
President Wilson In his address
made the following recommendation
to congress:
I advise that congress declare the
recant course of tha imperial Ger
man government to be In faot noth
ing lose than war against the gov
ernment and people of the United
States and that it formally aocept
the status of the belligerent whloh
has thus been thrust upon It and
employ all of it* resouroee to bring
the government of Germany to
terms and to end the war.
Following this epoch making asser
tion, tills resolution was Introduced In
both branches of congress:
Joint resolution declaring that a
state of war exists between ike Im
perial German government and the
government and people of the Unit
ed Statee and making provlelon to
prosecute the eamei
Whereas, The recent eots of the
Imperial government art aots of war
against the government and people
of the United States)
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatlvee of the United
States of America in oongrese as
sembled, That the stats of war be
tween the United 8iates and the Im
perial German government whloh
has been thus thrust upon the Unit
ed States is hereby formally de
clared; and
That ths president be, and fie le
hereby, authorized and directed to
take immediate steps not only to
put the country In a thorough state
of defense, but aleo to exert all of
its power and employ all of Its re
sources to oarry on war against the
imperial German government and
to bring the conflict to a successful
termination.
And then the United States of Amer
ica had entered the greatest straggle
In the history of the world.
Unreservedly With the Allies.
Before an audience that cheered him
as he has never been cheered la the
capltol In his life the president cast In
the lot of America unreservedly with
the allies and declared for a war that
must not end until the Issue between
autocracy and democracy has been
fought out He recited our lnjuriea at
Germany's bands, but he did not rest
our cause on those; he went on from
that point to range us with the allies
as a factor In an Irrepressible conflict
between the autocrat and the people.
He showed that peace was Impossible
for the democracies of the world while
this power remained on earth. "The
world," he said, "must be made safe
for democracy."
We had learned that the German au
tocracy could never be a friend of this
country; she had been our enemy while
nominally our friend and even before
the war of 1914 broke out He called
on us to take our stand with the de
mocracies In this Irrepressible conflict
with before our eyes "the wonderful
and heartening events that have been
happening in the last few weeks in
Russia." He reaffirmed his hope for
peace and for freedom and looked to
the war now forced upon ns to bring
these about, for, he said, a world com
pact for pence "can never be maintain
ed except by a concert of the democ
racies of the world."
The objects for which we flght he
said, are democracy, the right of those
who submit to authority to have a
voice in their own government, the
right and liberties of small nations, the
universal dominion of right the con
cert of free peoples to bring peace and
safety to all nations and to make the
world free. These have always been
our ideals, and to accomplish them we
accept the war Germany has made
upon us. In fighting it we must not
only raise an army and Increase the
navy, but must aid the allies In all
ways, financial and other, and so order
our own preparations as not to Inter
fere with the supply of munitions they
are getting from us.
Ready For Strife.
This utterance found the nation
ready. The position attained by Amer
ican manufacturers of explosives and
other war materials In supplying the
entente allies and their ability to come
promptly to the aid of the United
States In the prosecution of war with
Germany are shown In a compilation
Issued by the National City bank of
New York contrasting the foreign trade
of this country In the war period, Aug.
1, 1914, to Feb. 1 last, with the pre
vious period, Feb. 1, 1012, to Aug. 1,
1014.
The review made by the bank was
prepared primarily for the purpose of
showing the movement of foreign com
merce. That section of the report,
howover, relating to war shipments re
veals the potentialities within the Unit
ed States for a complete supply of
requisites for carrying on aggressive
military operations. With many con
tracts from foreign governments for
shells and other war supplies expired
or lessening la volume, American man
ufacturers are In an excellent position
to meet the requirements of their ,<*n
government
Some Striking Figures.
Some of the striking munition ex
ports enumerated by the bank since
the war began, compared with the two
and one-half year period before hostil
ities, are:
Explosives, $092,000,000 against $14,
000,000; manufactures of brass, chiefly
material for shells, $407,000,000 against
$21,000,000; manufactures of iron and
steel, chiefly for war purposes, $1,434,
000,000 against $005,000,000; automo
biles for war use chiefly, $225,000,000
against $79,000,000; zinc, $107,000,0001
against $2,000,000; chemicals, $276,000,
000 against $07,000,000; breadstuffs, $1,
278,000,000 against $440,000,000; meats,
$038,000,000 against $368,000,000;

000,000 against $133,000,000, and wool

111,000,000.
Less raw cotton was shipped In the
war period, the figures being $1,181,
000,000, while In the two and one-half
years preceding the conflict this export
had a value of $1,832,000,000. The
bank's analysis showed that exports
from this country to Europe between
Aug. 1, 1914, and Feb. 1 last Increased
more than 100 per cent when com
pared with the period from Feb. 1,
1912, to Aug. 1, 1914, one of normal
trade conditions.
The total trade of the United States
In the first two and one-half years of
the war was $15,623,000,000 against
(10,490,000,000 In the corresponding
period preceding 1'ie war. Exports
uader the stimulus of war trading
reached a total of $10,502,000,000
against $5,SS2,000,000 and imports $5,
061,000.000 against $4,008,000,000. The
bank's statement also says:
Trade with Europe shows greater
changes than with other grand divi
sions, while the exports of manufac
tures and imports of manufacturing
materials are the striking features
when considered by articles. Exports
to Europo In the war period are $7,
048,000,000 against $3,505,000,000, de
spite the fact that the exports to the
central powers in the war period are
but $16,000,000 against $865,000,000 In
the pre-war i>er!od. Imports from
Europe are but $1,506,000,000 against
$2,207,000,000 In the pre-war period.
Those from tho central powers are but
$90,000,000 against $542,000,000 In the
pre-war period.
Exports to North America are $1,771,
000,000 against $1,423,000,000; South
America, $417,000,000 against $335,000,
000; Asia (exclusive of material for
Russia via Vladivostok), $384,000,000
against $200,000,000. Imports from
North America are $1,392,000,000
against $1,008,000,000; South America,
$906,000,000 against $551,000,000, and
Asia, $969,000,000 against $680,000,000.
Increase In Exports.
In exports by articles the greatest
growth occurs in the group of manu
factures amounting to $0,083,000,000
against $2,831,000,000 in the pre-war
period; food products, $2,563,000,000
against $1,133,000,000. Manufacturing
material exported shows a decline, be
ing $1,523,000,000 against $1,806,000,000
In the pre-war period. .
The bank's analysis shows that the
chief Increase in Imports was In manu
facturing material, being $2,015,000,000
in the war period against $1,582,000,
0C0, and foodstuffs were $1,357,000,000
against $1,128,000,000, while manufac
tures showed a decline, amounting In
the war period to but $1,046,000,000
compared with $1,850,000,000 In the pe
riod before the war. The miscel
laneous group In exports was $246,
000,000 8 jalnst $20,000,000, due to the
fact that more than 1,000,000 horses
and mules were Included In that group.
Changes in movements to and from
the principal countries were: To the
United Kingdom, exports of the war
period, $3,571,000,000, apainst $1,439,
000,00ft; France, $1,545,000,000, against
$303,000,000; Italy, $000,000,000, against
$1S4,000,000, and Iiussia, $714,000,000
against $07,000,000.
The efficacy of tlie British blockade
was demonstrated by the fact that in
the war period exports from .Ills coun
try to Germany amounted to only $16,
000,000 compared with $804,000,000 In
the pre-war period.
