THE PRESIDENTS SPEECHES.

We think there can be no doubt that the speeches that
the president has delivered have greatly influenced the
Thought of the people Many who doubtful as to the
need for adequate Defense and some OF those

which is than be said OF others who navel

ceeded the theory that the business was the people
own and that they would manage it wisely If only they
understood the situation And he has tried to make
them understand it, There has been appeal to fear
much less to passiOn-nor have the pel1s been III the

his words naturally have great weight 1t is to be
membered further that Mr. Wilson has the very great adj
vantage of knowing what he talking about This point
was made by Mr. Mann in speech in the house of repre-

dangers that he has found most difficult to keep the
peace that he tell what foreign relations

can be no mstalling his meaning
The president arguments also derive strength from
the fact that he not seeking to force any pet program
