TO be sure it willard your children Will see those
words, which your National Government spoke in
1927, fulfilled on larger scale tn IN they were meant
that the aJsolrtisa Of Europe mil not be aDpc1Sss

iterGted even htrc' And oh do not rely too fond
ly upon your power. It is great to be sure You
have not TO fear whatever single power earth but
LOOK to history. Ancient Rome has fallen, and
mighty empires have vanished from earth. Let not
the enemies OF freedom grow too strong. Victorious
over Europe, and then united, they would be toe
strong even for you And be sure, they hate you
with an internal hatred They must hate you even
more than me. They consider you as their most
sleep while the Republican principle has such a
mighty representative as your country is.
Yes gentlemen, it was the fear from the political
reaction of absolutis,ic principles which induced
your great statcsmen-that principe which they
piofesseo for Central and Southern America not 70
extend TO Europe also, and by 10 means the pub
licly avowed feeble motives Every manifestation
Of your public life out of those times, shows that
am right TO say so. Europe's nations were, about
1923, IN such degraded situation that indeed you
must have felt anxious not TO come into any polti,
cal contact with that pestilential atmosphere OF
Europe, when, Mr. Clay said IN 1918, IN his speech
aboat the emancipation of South America, "Paris
transferred to 81. Petersburg"
But scarcely has, within a year later, the Greek
nation in its contest 10 an important standing,
which gave you hope that the spirit OF freedom is
waking sgain, and at once you abandoned your prn-
clple of political indifference for Europe. You
know how your Gays and your Websers spoke, as
ifrcaly they were speaking for nv very case You
know how your citizens acted in behalf Of that srug
gle for liberty, that part OF Europe, which is more
distant than Hungary and again, when Poland fell,
you know what spirit pervaced the United States:
SO have shown you how Washington's doctrine
OF perfect neutrality In your foreign relations has
by-andby changed into the declaration TO oppose,
with all your forces absolutisical Europe in inter
fcring with the indedendence or republican iDsttu-
tons OF Central and Southern America ! have sho wn
you why this manly resolution was not extended
then 10 Europe. l have shown you the further
differences between your present convenience and
that of the time of President Monroe-not less i'm
portant than those between Monroe's and Washing
TONS time. But one mighty difference j must still
commemorate That is that your population has,
since Monroes time, nearly doubled believe at
least increased by millions. And what sort OF men
are these millionsl Are they only native born Amer
icansl No European emigrants they men,
who, though citizens of the United states, are oy
the most sacred ties of relationship attached to Eu-
ropes fate That is a consideration worthy OF the
reflection OF your calmest and wisest men, who
after calm reflection, must agree wi h me- that IN
your present condition you are at least as much In
terested in the fate Of Europe, as your fathers
twenty-eight years ago declared themselves inter-
ested in the fate Of Central and Southern America.
And really so 1t is The unexampled, immense,
prodgious sympathy for the cause Of my country
which met with III the United States proves that 1t
is so. Your general interference with the Turkish
captivity of the Governor Of Hungary proves that 1t
is so. And this development rather than change ia
your foreign policy is not even more an instructive
ebulOn of public opinion, which is called By and
by to impart a direction TO your National Govern

10 rely upon in saying 1t is the Message OF the
