Excerpt from Labor's Relation to the World War
I know that amongst our own people the claim was put forth that no man should be permitted to go upon these vessels as a passenger, taking the chance of having his life destroyed and thereby endanger ing the peace of his own country, and that our country should prohibit passengers from. Going upon vessels. But that was only a part of the problem. Suppose that we had as a Government, as a people, said to those who desired to travel upon those vessels as passengers, You must not travel upon those vessels, or, if you do, you do so at your own risk. We would not then have solved the problem, because there were the seamen to take into consideration, the sailor upon the bridge, the fireman and the engineer in the hold, the cook and the steward and the vast numbers of men who daily earned their bread in manning the vessels. Even if we had taken the passengers off, we would then have been placed in the position of having to abandon our overseas trade altogether or of supporting, maintaining. And defending our sailors in their right to earn their bread in their daily vocation. I don't know what your judgment may be in the matter. I know what my judgment is, what the judg ment of the administration was, and that is that the sailor earning his bread before the mast is just as much entitled to the protection of the United States Government as the most wealthy millionaire.

Excerpt from Labor's Relation to the World War
We protested vigorously to Germany against that system of warfare that destroyed the lives of our people, and Germany agreed to desist. Again we were hopeful that we would be able to get through without being engaged in the conflict. But in January, the very end of it, we were given a brief notice by the German Imperial Government that they would again resume their submarine warfare, again destroy the lives of our people without warning. There was no other course left to us but to defend the lives of these people.
Part Of The Problem.
I know that amongst our own people the claim was put forth that no man should be permitted to go upon these vessels as a passenger, taking the chance of having his life destroyed and thereby endangering the peace of his own country, and that our country should prohibit passengers from going upon vessels. But that was only a part of the problem. Suppose that we had as a Government, as a people, said to those who desired to travel upon those vessels as passengers, "You must not travel upon those vessels, or, if you do, you do so at your own risk." We would not then have solved the problem, because there were the seamen to take into consideration, the sailor upon the bridge, the fireman and the engineer in the hold, the cook and the steward, and the vast numbers of men who daily earned their bread in manning the vessels. Even if we had taken the passengers off, we would then have been placed in the position of having to abandon our overseas trade altogether or of supporting, maintaining, and defending our sailors in their right to earn their bread in their daily vocation. I don't know what your judgment may be in the matter. I know what my judgment is, what the judgment of the administration was, and that is that the sailor earning his bread before the mast is just as much entitled to the protection of the United States Government as the most wealthy millionaire.
"One Vessel A Week."
In the notice that Germany gave to us she very kindly said that she would permit us to send one vessel a week to England by way of Falmonth, provided that the vessel was striped like a barber pole and went by a given route. That was not our Government imposing its will upon us; that was not our Congress saying to us as a matter of precaution and safety that we must only send one vessel a week to England; it was not our Congress or our President speaking to us with authority granted to them by us, but it was the Kaiser, through his chancellor, undertaking to impose his will upon the people of the United States. No more autocratic action could have been taken by any autocratic Government on earth than the action of directing us how we should handle our business in its minutest details.
