They Sowed, We Harvest

In the face of an impending world
conflict the United States Ii TO-DAY In
q better position than any or the
great powers OF the world
Whence comes IL that, with the
world trembling with the threat OF
war, this country feels secure. Why
Ia not the United States one OF the
reluctant nations that may be drawn
into q conflict that II would give al
most anything to avoid?
II comes from the wise policy In
augurHted at the beginning OF this
government. II comes from con-
slant adherence to the spirit and the
letter OF the weighty counsel Of
George Washington that we should
have no "entangling alliances with
other nations.
Germany wants no war, but her al
lance with Austria may drag her
into It. France wants no war, but the
alliance with Russia may emDroil
her. England wants no war, but the
|r'entente cordiale' may bring her
into conflict.
The outstanding fact Of the Euro
pean situation today Is that four
great nations that do not want war
may be dragged into It by their al
liances. The outstanding fact OF the
American situation today Is that We
don't want war and there Is no prob
ability of our having It.
How different 1t would be II We had
an offensive and defensive alliance
with England or any other great ma
ton or group OF nations! What
anxiety all over the country! What
possibility OF being forced into war
with which we had no sympathy, a
war begun on grounds wholly dispro-
portioned to the tremendous conse-
quences that may ensue!
At times, In our pride of progress,
the wisdom of the fathers seems
weak We think Of 1t as largely I'M
suited to the exigencies Of q newer
time. as the product of men with q
necessarily narrower outlook than
ours.
Then situation like the present
one rises, situation whose bigness
is only matched by the bigness Of the
men who anticipated and provided
against just such contingency over
a hundred years ago. Then we real
ize that a great principle has been
handed down to US that Is worth mil
lions in men. billions In money.
Seldom, II ever. does the modern
statesman ascend the lofty peak of
patriotic vision which George Wash
ington assembled when he gave Amer
lea It's wisest watchword-"No en-
tangling alliances!"-Chicago Herald.
