WILSON'S IDEA Of
TRUE NEUTRALITY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE DISCUSSES
DUTIES OF AMERICANS DUR
ING WAR IN EUROPE.
Something Greater to Do Than to
Fight, Says the President, Who
Believes That the Future of
Our Country is Bright.

New York-President Wilson on
Tuesday gave definite and clear
statement of the neutrality which is
guiding his administration during the
war in Europe. He chose the occa-
sion of the annual luncheon of the
Associated Press for what he said he
regarded as a statement of gravest
Importance to the American people.
The influence of the newspaper in
molding public opinion, Mr.. Wilson
said prompted him to make clear his
ideas OF true neutrality, and in doing
so to impress upon his hearers the
Importance of adhering strictly to
ruthfulness and honesty in the dis
semlnation of the news.
Mr. Wilson seemed to weigh each
word he uttered The importance he
attached to his statement was reflect
ed in request that no attempt be
made to paraphrase his speech or 10
give it publicity until the official
White House stenographer had tran
scribed it in full
AS the only great nation not en-
gagged in the war or suffering under
the immediate influence of the war
zone, Mr.. Wilson declared that great
distinction awaited the United States
when the hour of readjustment should
come, provided this nation should
prove to the world it's self-control and
self-mastery. The past has been diff
ficult, he pointed out, but the future
would be more difficult.
America, the president said, never
would attempt to sit in judgment
upon another nation. No nation WAS
mt to do that, he added. But Amer
lea, free from hampering ambitions as
world power, free of lust for ter
rltory, calm, cool and without self-in-
terest, must be appealed to to assist
In the reconstructing processes Of
peace.
The neutrality of the United States,
Mr. Wilson said had a higher basis
than a petty desire to keep out OF
trouble.
There is something so much great
er to do than fight" he said let us
think of America before we think of |
Europe, in order that America may be |
fit to be Europe's friend when the
day of tested friendship comes. The
test of friendship is not sympathy
with one side or the other, but get
ting ready to help both sides when
the struggle is over"
