English foreign policy the hatred of the civilized world.
 To-day in this country we face a decision that will vital1y affect the future history of the ynationh and of the world. Is America to follow in the foot steps of those European pow CTS who have exploited weaker na- tions on the plea that they were not | capable of enjoying freedom and in- dependence? Is great western em- pire to be built up under the guild ance of men like Roosevelt and Hughes, with men like Morgan, Per- kins and Rockefeller looming behind them, pulling the wires that shall send navies to this country and ar- mics to that whenever investments or concessions are threatened by the stirring of an impulse toward free- dom?
