 Vigorous prise Ior the administra- tion's foreign and Mexican policies was the outstanding feature of an ad- dress here tonight by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, principal speaker at a meeting held in connec- tion with the Democratic campaign in Maine in behalf of President Wilson. ! The Presidents course, Mir. Baker said, had infused the spirit of the De- claration of Independence and of the golden rule into this country's foreign relations.
 'I have shown that the administra- tion of President Wilson has followed consistent program in it's domestic legislation" Mir Baker declared to- ward the end of his address. Tt has procured the enactment of laws more wholesome and beneficial than per haps can be credited in the aggregate to the administrations which have in- terened since the Civil War. It is inspired by a philosophy which is an expression of the longing of mankind in this day and generation. It has refused to allow itself to be turned aside by foreign violence from the accomplishment of its great program.
 The administration has kept the peace. It has done unto Mexico as we would be done by and has infused the spirit of the Declaration of In- dependence and of the Godlen Rule into its foreign relations. It has main tained friendly relations with the European belligerents and placed this country in a position from which, at the end of the great European strug- gle the moral forces of this United States can be exercised in the inter- ests of justice and humanity.
 Large problems lie before us in the next four years. The reconstruction must take place. No unfamiliar hand should be in to guide the course of our nation during that period. No uncertain voice should be permitted to speak our spirit as the council table that reorganiZes the universe. This is the time, when pressed for ward nObly on a high and difficult course. the finish should be left to those who have demonstrated their ability by their work already done.
 There are those who hint, but are not to say if they had been in the place of responsibility they would have involved us in the mealstrom. They indulge in a cheap form of eHJ- quence about what they would have done.
 The United States is today the friend of each of the belligerent na- tions. Our fields are growing the crops that are to feed the multitudes whose hands have been withdrawn from the blow to be given to the sword. Our workshops and factories are making the implements of re- mobilization which will make life pos sible again in Europe when this great scourge is passed. We have preserved the peace with justice and have saved to ourselves an opportunity far larger than any participation in this struggle could have given. We want no territory, We seek no advantage, we desire but an opportunity to help restore the balance, with friendship and prosperity and opportunity for the peoples of the old world"
 After reviewing the developments of Mexican unrest, which he pointed out began to manifest itself long be- fore Woodrow Wilson became presi- dent, MT. Baker continued:
 President Taft declined to recog- niZe the dissolute monster (Huerta): Secretary of State Knox withheld the approval of the United States from that sort of treachery. President Will son withheld recognition of Huerta and the long and troubled course Of our dealing with Mexico has been. in part at least. because both President Taft and President Wilson believed that a nation loving justice. as I hope we love it, could not extend its favor to this medieval despot, with all his vilanies upon his head as foatsom by the. waters of the revolution. other wise hopeful and pure as to its ob- ject"
