 What sort of country does young America, vibrant with patriotism. de- sire Q"
 Mir Hughes answered the question in part as follows.
 First he wants a country respected throughout the world. He wants country which respects the dignity of its citizenship. Second. young America must desire a country that is prepared Tor every emergency Third. young America, looking ahead, must desire mat when peace is once more restored we shall contribute to its maintenance by doing our proper share to secure a practicable and effective international organization for peace. Fourth. young America wants government in the open by visible instruments. not by unoffi- cial spokesmen or invisible authority. He also wants a government not sec tonal. but truly national Fifth. young America wants industrial prepared ness
 In citing his second reason. MT. Hughes assailed the administration for lack of preparedness. referred to man ifest defects in the army reorganiza- thn bill, declared that the navy dt partment had incapable leadership" and touched on a recommendation by Secretary Garrison in June. 1914. that the regular army be willed to it's full strength recommendation MT Hughes said had been ignored.
 T am informed on competent au- thority.' Mir. Hughes said. that had there been the addition to the regular army then desired bv Secretary Gar rison. it would not have been neces- sary to send our national guard to the border"

 The burden of war would fall upon young America. and young America desires peace" he said. in discussing Americas place in the future. 'But young America must desire that it be a lasting peace. a peace maintained through self respect. conserved by a firm and insitsent maintenance of American rights.
 If you want peace. take counsel of your principles not of your fears.
 When it is said that the policy of the administration is a policy of peace. ] am filled with amazement at the au- dacity of the assertion. because we had. right at the outset. an unexampled op- portunity for the display of correct methods in dealing with international questions. Instead of a policy of peace we had policy of a personal and vim dictive war.
 q say that we have got to learn. in order Co maintain peace. first that we will not meddle with things that do not concern us, that when we say we will recognize and respect the rights of other states. small and great, we must show by our conduct that we mean what we say; and. finally, that 1t must he known in Mexico and in Latin America, and everywhere throughout the world that the lives and property of American citizens will be protected.
