time expected the European war to
last as long As a year. yet It is still
going on--with more determination on
each side now than when II COM
menced. And so far as I can learn,
with no prospects of peace. When
two great forces are at war as they
are now, 1t Is always to the advantage
OF one side of the other to involve
other countries in the struggle. When
the war in Europe broke out j took
occasion in few words in this House
TO say that there would be many temp
tations for us to enter the war or TO
take sides, and that 1t was our duty
always to remember that we were

and remain strictly neutral with
sympathy on neither side.

that the situation in the world has
changed in the last year, / do know
that the events of the last year have
so modified tn facts that one may at
least realize the truth today. The
trouble with some OF these patriotic,
sincere, honest and misguided inger-
ers in the past is that they never
learn an event until 1t is ancient his

I'VE do not believe. or / do not
