And therein lies the story of the

Olson also had something to say re-

with other nations of the world in
some kind of league for the mainten-
ance of peace. Now America was not
a party to this war and the only
terms upon which we will be admitted
to league, almost all tho other
powerful members OF which were en-
gagged in the war and made infinite
-acrlfics when we apparently made
none, are the only terms which we
desire, namely, that America shall not
stand for national aggression, but
shall stand for the just conceptions
and bases of peace, for the competi-
tiOns of merit alone and for the gem
erous rivalry OF liberty.
Are we ready always to be the
friends Of justice, of fairness. of lib
erty, of peace and of those accommo-
dations which rest upon justice and
peace? In these two trying years that
have just gone by we have forborne,
we have not allowed provocation to
disturb out judgments We have seen
to 1t that America kept her poise
when all the rest of the world seemed
to have lost its poisc. only upon tho
terms of retaining that poise and using
the splendid force which always
comes with poise can we hope to play
the heneficent part in the history Of
