PRESIDENT WILSON'S
Delivered Before The Manhattan
Club. New York City.
ADDRESS

The address delivered by Pres
ident Wilson before the Manhat-
tan Club, New York City, is
without question the most effect
i've public address he has ever
delivered. There were two great
topics of his address-prepared-
ness and chastisement of false
American. Though it was read
by one American with sorrow
and concern" that should not de-
ter all other Americans from
reading it with an open mind.
Following is the text of Presi-
dent Wilson's address:
"Mr. POSTMASTER and Gentlemen:
II warmly felicitate the club upon
the completion of fifty years of sue
cessful and interesting life. Club life
may be made to mean a great deal to
those who know how to use it. l have
no doubt that to a great many of you
has come genuine stimulation in the
associations Of this place and that as
the years have multiplied you have
seen more and more the useful ends
which may be served by organizations
Of this sort.
"But ! have not come to speak
wholly Of that, for there are others Of
your own members who can speak of
the club with a knowledge and an in
telligence which no one can have who
has not been intimately associated
with it. Men band themselves togeth-
er for the sake Of the association no
doubt, but also for something greater
and deeper than that, because they
are conscious Of common interests "
ing outside their business occupa-
tons, because they are members of
the same community and in frequent
intercourse find mutual stimulation
and a real maximum of vitality and
power. / shall assume that here a.
round the dinner table on this me-
mortal occasion our talk should prop
erly turn to the wide and common in
terests which are most in our thoughts
whether they be the interest Of the
community or Of the nation.
"A year and a half ago our thought
would have been almost altogether Of
great domestic questions. They are
many and Of vital consequence. We
must and shall address ourselves 10
their solution with diligence, frmness
and self-pOssession, Notwithstanding
we find ourselves in the midst Of a
world disturbed by great disaster and
ablaze with terrible war; but our
thought is now inevitably Of new
hings about which formerly we CAV
ourselves little concern. We are
thinking now chiefly Of our relations
with the rest Of the world, not n
commercial relations, about those we
have thought and planned always, but
about u political relations, our du-
ties as an individual and independent
force in the world TO ourselves, our
neighbcrs and the world itself.
Americas Ambition.
Our principles are well known. It
is not necessary to avow them again.
We believe in political liberty and
founded our great Government 70 OBJ
tain It. the liberty Of men and Of peO-
pies, Of men to choose their " lives
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-11-12

and Of peoples to choose their own al
legiance. Our ambition, also, all the
world has knowledge Of. It is not
only to be free and prosperous our
selves, but also TO be the friend and
thoughtful partisan Of those who are
free or who desire freedom the world
over. If we have had aggressive pur-
poses and covetous ambitions, they
were the fruit Of our thoughtless
youth as a nation and we have put
them aside.
"We shall, / confidently believe,
never again take another foot Of ter
ritory by conquest. We shall never
in any circumstances seek to make an
independent people subject to our do
minion, because we believe, we pas
sionately believe, in the right Of every
people to choose their own allegiance
and be free of masters altogether. For
ourselves we wish nothing but the full
liberty Of self-deyelopment; and with
ourselves in this great matter we as.
sociate all the peoples of our own
hemisphere. We wish not only fol
the United States but for them the
fullest freedom Of independent
growth and Of action, for we know
that througout this hemisphere the
same aspirations are everywhere be-
ing worked out under diverse condi-
ton, but with the same impulse and
ultimate object.
"All this is very clear TO us and
will, ! confidently predict, become
more and more clear to the whole
world as the great processes Of the
future unfold themselves. It is with
a full consciousness of such principles
and such ambitions that we are ask
ing ourselves at the present time
what u duty is with regard to the
armed force Of the nation. Within a
year we have witnessed what we did
not believe possible, a great European
conflict involving many of the great
est nations of the world. The in
%fiuences Of a great war are every
where in the air. All Europe is en-
battled. Force everywhere speaks out
with a loud and imperious voice in a
titanic struggle Of Governments, and
from n end Of our own dear country
to the other men r asking n an
other what u own force is, how far
we are prepared to maintain ourselves
against any interference with our
national action Of development.
Our Need Of Preparedness.
"In no mans mind, / am sure, is
there even raised the question Of the
wilful use Of force on our part against
any nation or any people. No matter
what military or naval force the
United States might develop, states
men throughout the whole world
might rest assured that we were
gathering that force not for attack
ii any quarter, not for aggression Of
any kind, not FOR the satisfaction Of
any political or international ambi-
ton, but merely to make sure Of our
own security We have It in mind to
be prepared, but not for war, but only
for defense; and with the thought
constantly in our minds that the
principles we hold most dear can be
achieved by the slow processes Of his
tory only in the kindly and wholesome
atmosphere Of peace and not by the
use Of hostile force. The mission Of
America in the world is essentially a
mission, Of peace and good win among
men. She has become the home and
asylum Of men o. all creeds and
races. Within her hcspitable Dor
ders they have found homes and con-
