stored.

judged Mr.. Bryan. He spoke of the "love
we've got for lear old Germany now and
forever" He attacked Col. Roosevelt

THE trouble with us Americans Is
that we are not American enough. We
give more concern to the Interests OF the
belligerent nations than TO our own.
There is Just one country we must care
for-that is America. What will best
further the best interests of our own
country, what will best hold together
and weld together our citizenship. must,
primarily. be our concern.
ITO arouse distrust or suspicion In
the hearts OF one class OF our citizens
OF the motives and the loyalty OF an
other. Is not only a grievous injustice,
! but a crime against the State. BY care
lessness or by design ( o estrange the
hearts OF a large proportion OF our peo-
pie from our country. whose interests
and institutions they have unfailingly
served with blood, nerve and treasure
IA unnecessarily render II difficult or a
hardship for them to remain ardently
loyal to our institutions and u coun-
try. is not merely IN injustice. but a
crime against our country. Nor dare We
hope that the man who finds no love in
his heart for the land Of his origin will
find much loyalty in his heart to the
land Of his adoption.
I'VE are not "A nation which. like the
nations of the Old World, Is composed
predominantly of one race, but a COM
posite nation. Manifestly, the princi-
pies and aspects governing our com
posite nation in its international rela-
tons must differ from those governing
the relationship Of purely racial n
tons toward each other.
"Our W interests n principles are
best s~afeguarded by as speedy a conclu
sion OF international peace as is posi-
bic. II is our duty to see to II that
a peace Is concluded by which the ma
lions can abide. Our policy is mo-
armament. but peace. We must secure
our own peace by securing the peace
of the world not by seeking to outarn
II. It must be our aim. at the con
clusion Of the present hostilities, tt
bring about a peaceful coalition Of al
the civilized nations OF the world BY
every means at our command.

The resolutions held that "in it's deal
