The United States has severed
diplomatic relation with Germany
which, in all human likelihood,
means war.
We have all sensed the threat
of such a move for several
months, but have done our best
to believe that some kind of fate
would avert it.
We have made this wish father
to our thoughts and actions,
we have encouraged the govern-
ment to be cautious and concilia-
tory.
We have shown a willingness
to endure much, to concede
much, to suffer much, rather
than become a party to this ti-
tanic struggle.
We have leaned backward in
our patriotism, our beliefs and
our ideals that no stone might
be left unturned, no course un-
tried, which could possibly ex-
cuse us from taking such a step.
We have remained indifferent
to the violation of sacred agree-
ments. have condoned the most

may well tremble when the
warm-heartedness of America
turns to ice, for it marks the
estragement of their last friend
and leaves them nothing but
to carry on a hopeless struggle
against a unanimous and reso-
lute world. It dissipates every
doubt as to the final outcome,
and makes the utter ruin of their
hopes, their ambition and their
