politics never was conceived. In COM
parison, and in view of the sudden and
extraordinary exigency sprung upon
the country, President Wilson's course
was characterized by both courage and
common sense"
OF Candidate Hughes conduct in the
campaign, Mr.. Olney remarks:
N sooner was the nomination as
sured than the robes and ermine Of
the Judge fell from the candidate as
if by magic, and there appeared in
their place the motley wear Of the or
binary office seeker-a TRANSFORMED
ton as sudden as that made by the
wand Of Harlequin in the pantomime,
and a transformation showing how
thin is the judicial veneer, and for
ever discrediting the United States
Supreme Court as a training camp
for high political Office"
Has Kept Rudder True
In its conduct of foreign relations
the Wilson Administration, Mr.. Olney
says, has kept it's rudder true and
has o. and deserved the respect and
gratitude of the country"
The principles and objects of the
Wilson foreign policy as stated by
Mr.. Olney have been:
First-To keep the country out
of the great European war.
Second-TO insist upon the ex-
istence and vitality Of interna-
tiOnal law as determining it's own
status as a neutral, and defining
it's rights and obligations as such.
Third-T0 deal with the Mexi-
can situation in a spirit of per-
feet fairness and friendliness to
the Mexican people, now suffer-
ing from civil dissensions and
revolution to an extent which
leaves q large part of the country
in q state of anarchy.
Mr.. Olney shows that all these OBJ
jects have been attained through the
wise, patient and courageous diplo-
macy of Woodrow Wilson; that the
President has kept the country at
peace without dishonor; that under
his leadership "the United States has
rendered an inestimable service to
belligerents and neutrals and to all
mankind" in steadily bearing aloft
the banner of international law as
the standard under which all civilized
peoples must eventually gather"
Mr.. Olney finds particular cause to
commend President Wilson's Mexican
policy. He stands with the President
in declaring that the Mexicans have
the right to work out their own destiny
even through revolution.
Closing by asking what is likely
to happen if the 'Presidential tiller
passes into new hands," Mr.. Olney
says that Hughes inducement to
change the existing foreign policies of
the country will be very great.
THE American people can hardly
fail to realize the danger and to refuse
to put at risk the continuance of q
foreign policy which, as a whole.
must have their hearty approval"
