MISSION OF THE UNITED STATES

She would thus be no improvement upon past
powerful nations. Having established herself
enough Tor all of her needs and purposes, ste

Of her strength by the cultivation of her people.
the development Of her resources, the improve
ment Of roads. the opening up of all needed
avenues OF communication TO all parts of the
country, the encouragement OF better system
OF agriculture more in accordance with natural
laws; and, in fact. to expanding her energies to
improve the condition of her people and make
their lot happy and desirable one in SO far as
outside Influences can do.
Hartley B. Gates
