WILSON,  Woodrow. ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE  UNITED  STATES
DELIVERED AT A JOINT SESSION OF THE TWO HOUSES OF CONGRESS FEBRUARY 3,
1917.  Washington:  [Government Printing Office] 1917. First  Edition.
The  true  First Edition, preceding the book edition.  Printed  wraps,
[1],  2-6,  [7-8]  pages. SIGNED by the President at the  end  of  the
text.  A scarce copy, especially when signed, of this highly important
speech  where  Wilson, for the first time, officially broke  relations
with  Germany: "I have, therefore, directed the Secretary of State  to
announce  to His Excellency the German Ambassador that all  diplomatic
relations  between  the  United  States  and  the  German  Empire  are
severed"  (page  5). The ostensible reason for Wilson  taking  America
into  the  "war  to end all wars" was the continued  German  submarine
sinking  of  ships with American passengers. Minor,  light  wrinkling.
Near Fine                                                     $6000.00
