Mission One of Peace.
Our mission TO the world should be
one of peace. but not the peace of era
vens the peace granted cOntemptuous-
ly TO those who purchase it by surrend-
ering the right. No, Our voice must
be effective for peace because il is
raised for righteousness first and for
peace only as the handmaiden of right
eousness. We must be scrupulous in
respecting the rights of the weak and
no less careful 10 make il evident that
we do not act through fear of the
strong. We must be scrupulous in do
ing justice to others and scrupulous in
exacting justice for ourselves. We
must beware equally of that sinister
and cynical teaching which would per
suade US to disregard ethical stand
ards in international relations. and of
the no less hurtful folly which would
stop the whole work of civilization by
a well-meant but silly persistency in
trying to- apply TO peoples untitled for
them those theories of government and

suited for the most advanced races.
Must Also Keep Order.
In particular we must remember
that in undertaking TO build the Pana-
ma Canal we have necessarily under
taken to police the seas at either end
of it; and this means that we have a
peculiar interest in the preservation of
order in the coasts and islands of the
Caribbean. 1 firmly believe that by a
little wise and generous laid we can
help even the most backward of the
peoples in these coasts and islands for.

SO that they can stand alone If We
decline 10 give them such help the re-
suit will be bad both for them and for
us; and will in the end in all proba-
bility cause us to face humiliation or
blOodshed
The problems that face us abroad
are important. but the problems that
face us at home are even more import
ant The extraordinary growth of in
dustrialism during the last half cen
tury brings every civilized people face
TO face with the gravest social and eco
nomic questions. This is an age of
combination among capitalists and
combination among wage-workers. 1t
is idle TO try 10 prevent such combi-
nations. Our efforts should be to see
that they work for the good and not
for the harm of the body polite. New
devices of law are necessary from time
TO time in order 10 meet the changed
and changing conditions.
