ROOSEvELT's CHALLENGE.
The old inquiry. what are you 60

trstion. in reply to the public criticism
of this order that 1T Is easy TO test

opponents come into power they can

This suggests the suspicion. at least.
that the order was made to create an
issue-tbat il was supposed TO present

of the ballots. On the assumption

fsiration Is revocable at the plea sure

croschment upon the Legislative power.

UNDER BONDS FOR PEACE.
The foreign relations Of the govern
ment have in late years assumed
special Importance. Prior TO the &C
QUESTION of the Philippines, we wer,
practically invulnerable against at
tacks by fereign States. Those tropics
Possessions, however. seven thousa nc
miles from oar shores, have changed
oil this and have in effect put us undeI
bonds to keep the peace. The new
conditions call for a mana cement OF
foreign ahairs the more circumspec-
in that the recent American inyasic,
OF foreign markets in all parts Of tn.
world has excited the serious appre
hensieA OF all the great Industrial peo
pies. 1t 10 essential, therefore, more
than ever. to adhere strictly TO tn.
traditional policy OF the country as
Formulated by it's first president and
never. In my judgment wisely de.
parted from-to invite friendly rela
ttens with all nations while avoiding
entangling alliances with any. Such a
policy Leans the cultiva ton Of peace
instead Of the gloriflcation Of war. and
the mnding Of our own business in
heu OF spectacular intermeddling with
the anairs Of other nations. II means
strict Observance OF the principles of
international law and condemns the
doctrine that a great state, BY reason
OF Its strength, may rightfully appro-
pirate the sovereignty or territory Of
q small state on account Of Its weak
ness. 1t means for other American
efafes that we claim no rights and will
assume No functions save those Of a
friend and Of an ally and defender MS
against European aggressioaa. 1t
means that We repudiate the role Of
the American continental policeman:
that we refuse 10 act as debt collector
Tor foreign states or their citixcps:
that We respect the independent SOW
ereignty OF each American state and
ns right to preserve order and other
wise regulate its own internal a6airs
II Its own way: and that any inter
