He further said:
An Aggressive Foriesn Policy.
In foreign AFFAIRS we must make up our
n a,nS = great 9nas people, people and mus, play a srea;
part In the world. II n not open TO us
TO choose whether we viii ploy that great
s ean'd or nei !. WHETHER %e says we 70 .h slny play a.; IL Il w wi
or III. And I have too much confidence In
my countrymen TO doubt what the decision
viii be. GU mission In the world should
be one OF peace. but not tho peace OF crav-
ems. the peace granted CONTEMPORARY TO
those who purchase Il by surrenderinE the
right No! GU voice must be effective
for peace because u II raised for righteous
ness FIRST and for peace only as the hand
maiden OF righteousness. We must be
s~crupulous In respecting tho rights OF tho
weak, and no less careful to make IL evil
dent That we do not act through fear or
the strong. We must be S~crupulous In do
Ing Justice 10 others and scrupulous IN
cxactinE justice for ourselves. We must
beware equally Of that sinister and cynical
teaching which would persuade US TO dis
regard ethical standards In intcrnatioual
which would stop the whole work OF civ
LlEation by "A wcil-mcant but silly persist
ency In trying TO apply TO peoples untitled
OF national action which are only suited
for the most advanced races.
Must Keep Order in West Indies.
In particular we must remember that In
undertaking TO build the Panama canal we
have necessarily undertaken 20 police the
seas at either end or a.: and this means
that we have a peculiar Interest In the pre-
seryation OF order IN the coasts and islands
OF the Caribbean. i firmly believe that by
a little wise and generous aid we can help
even the most ackw OF the peoples In
these coasts and islands forward along tho
pa.n Of alone SsserlG M Ms decline iO 's 10 give fnsy them saS
such help the result, will be bad both for
.hem and for US: and will In the end In all
probability cause us to face humiliation or

Must Curb Monopoiists.
The problems hat face us abroad arc
important. but the problems that face US
at home are even more important. The

that they work for the good and not for

order TO meet the changed and changing
conditions
and some OF them nourtshed long. but
sooner or later they fell: and the cause

Each Must Give Square Deal.
The crime OF brutal disregard OF the
rights OF others In as much a crime when ~
manifests itself In the shape OF greed and
brutal arrogance on the one side. as when
a manifcsts itself In the shape OF envy
and lawleas violence on the other. Gu
