ties between the complainant and E. J..
Wilkes is prayed for, on the ground
of coercion and intimidation, which the

SECRETARY BRYAN ISSUES FIRST
OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHOW
ING GENERAL ATTITUDE.
QUOTES FROM AN old SPEECH
And Says "The Words Show Am In
Hearty Accord With President VIII
son In His Desire to Promote inter
national Peace and Good WILL"

Washington, March 7.-Secretary Of
State Bryan gave to the public yester-
day the. first official statement as to
his views on the national position OF
the United States. He did not go into
a detailed discussion Of foreign rela-
tions. preferring to confine himself to
a general intimation of his attitude.
For this purpose he used an abstract
from a speech he delivered nearly
thirteen years ago. The Secretary's
statement follows:
81 do not care to speak Of our for
eign relations, or of our nations posi-
ton in relation to any particular ma
ton or question, but my views on our
national position are expressed in the
closing words of a speech which 1 de-
| livered at Indianapolis Aug. s, 1900.
The words show that am in hearty
accord with President Wilson in his
desire to promote international peace
and good will.
81 can conceive of a national des-
tiny surprising the glories of the pres
ent and the pasta destiny which
meets the responsibilities of today and
measures up to the possibilities of the
future. Behold republic, resting se-
curely upon the foundation stones
quarried by revolutionary patriots
from the mountain of eternal truth
a republic applying in practice and
proclaiming to the world the self evi-
dent propositions that all men are Gre
ated equal; that they are endowed by
constituted among men to secure these
rights and that governments derive
their just powers from the consent OF
the governed. Behold a republic In
which civic and religious liberty stim-
ulate all to earnest endeavor and In
which the law restrains every hand
uplifted for a neighbor's injury-a re-
public in which every citizen is a SOW
! ereign, but in which no one cares or
| daTes to wear a crown. Behold a re-
| public standing erect while empires
all around are bowed beneath the
weight of their own armaments-a re-
public whose flag is. loved while other
flags are only feared. Behold a repub-
lie increasing in population, in wealth,
in strength and in influence solving
the problems of civilization and has
tening the coming of universal broth
erhood "a republic which shakes
thrones and dissolves aristocracies by
| its silent example and gives light and
inspiration to those who sit in dark
ness. Behold a republic gradually
but surely becoming the supreme NOR
al factor in the worlds progress and
the accepted arbitor of the worlds
dispute-a republic whose history like
the path of the just is as the shining
light that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day."
This was Mr.. Bryan's answer to a
small army of newspaper men gath
cred at the department intent upon
learning definitely what changes, II
any the new administration win
make in the policy of the government
regarding Mexico, the Philippines,
Latin-America and the Panama Canal
