MANSFIELD, OHIO, October 23. — William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, in a speech delivered before a large audience here tonight, declared that both Mr. Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt, under the pressure of insistent questioning, have admitted that had either been President at the time the U-S. was sunk, each would have taken a course which would have brought on war between the United States and Germany.
"Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hughes are in complete accord," said Secretary McAdoo. "Each would have brought on war with Germany immediately after the sinking of the U-S. They differ, if they differ at all, only in method. Mr. Roosevelt would have begun by an act of aggression—seizing the ships of German citizens lying in our harbors—and Mr. Hughes would have begun by immediately breaking off diplomatic relations.
"Neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Hughes would have attempted first to adjust the difficulty peacefully and honorably through the channels of diplomacy as President Wilson did."
