who believe the United States should
live up to the principles it has pro-
fessed for q century and moro.
National Honor.
In desperation for q slogan u op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor Is not the whtm
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason Of .
whole people feeling the emotions Of
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And II is for this reason that "the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States, not on the individual will of
president, but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision Of
the congress of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius of this country is for
peace. There Is no danger of mill
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources Of nature and the peace
full toll Of our people.
With us war has never been q
choice, it has always been q fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war 10 high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull 1t down. But when some other
tribe among the races of men sends
us a bundle of arrow wrapped In
the skin of a rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We d~eprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war cross the seas has
brought home to US the fear that SO
long as men are men and nations ma
tons. wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra-
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration in
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but 1t is prepared
ness for defense. not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then, are the principles that
have been asserted and followed by
the president Of the United States
during the past two years-that the
United States shall not embroil it
self in European strife, that the Unit
ed States shall endeaunr to maintain
friendly and cordial r atoms with ev
cry other nation and hat the United
States shall firmly ssert and main
tain and be prep, ID to assert and
