The Sunrise Conference
Arnett, Alex Mathews | September 26, 1936 issue

The story has long been current that in April, 1916, when the submarine controversy reached its gravest crisis prior to the eve of hostilities, the U.S. president held an early morning conference at the White House with a group of Congressional leaders at which he vehemently urged upon them that the time had come for a breach with Germany. The meeting was allegedly held at an early hour to avoid publicity, and thus it is referred to as the Sunrise Conference. If the Sunrise Conference was held in February, it would appear to have been much less significant than if it actually accorded with the traditional account.
