President Wilson Defends Neutral Rights at Sea
The president states he has no warning for Americans against belligerent ships and argues the United States must defend neutral rights. He cites British and German actions that harmed U S citizens and ships, urging America to uphold its own rights or risk losing them.
American rights must be defended against belligerent pressures
The speaker argues that the United States must abate no rights of neutral citizens by warning off armed merchant ships. Abandoning any privilege now would invite future trouble, while Congress and the president should uphold international law and American honor. The president is right to demand full rights. Congress is wrong to seek concessions.
