PRESIDENT RECEIVES GREATEST
RECEPTION OF HIS CAREER IN
OMAHA-URGES "UNSHACK-
ELING" OF BUSINESS.
"AS MUCH FIGHT IN AMERICA
AS IN ANY NATION IN WORLD"
We Have Held OF from Confiagratlon
in Europe Because We Wanted to
Play Different PART" Execu-
tive Says-Prepared to Use
Force to Keep Peace.

Omaha, Oct. T. President Wilson
came into the Middle West for the
first time since the campaign began
and received what his political lieu
tenants characterized the greatest re-
ception of his career. He declared for
the "unshackeling" of American bust
ness In order that it may meet the
competition of the world after the Eu-
ropean war and cited legislation of
his administration as going far in this
direction.
ut would be very difficult to do JUS
tice to an occasion of this kind" be-
gan the president.
Doors to United States Open.
He spoke of the importance of the
West and praised the people who came
from Europe to seek freedom. The
doors to the United States, he said,
were built to be kept open, not to be
closed.
Since 1890, when internal frontiers
in the United States disappeared, the
President declared, America has taken
on new aspect and the nation has
been growing closer together. 1t was
no coincidence, he said, that SOON aft
.erward interest was shown in Cuba,
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
Even since them" he continued,
I'VE have been caught inevitably in
the net of the politics of the world.
Therefore, l want to discuss our con-
nection with the rest of the world at
present and in the future
Hold Off From Conflagation
I'm order to carry out program you
must have unification of spirit in
America" he continued. There can |
be no program without unified course |
behind it. 1t is very important that |
the statesmen of other nations should
understand America. We have held
off from the conflagration in Europe
because we wanted to play a differ
emf part
The President was interrupted by
applause and shouts of I'VE thank |
you'll"
But Europe should understand us, )"
the President said. I'VE are holding
off because when we use the force OF
this nation, we want to know what
" . are uslHS II lOT-
Ready to Fight to Keep Peace.
There is as much fight in America
as in any nation in the world. We
want all the world to know that we
are ready to use all our force to main
tain peace among mankind The start
ing of wars can never again be the pri-
vate concern of any one nation. We
must use all our forces, moral and
physical, to uphold a league of ma
tons, to uphold the peace of this
world"
The President declared there was
no use fighting over petty things. He
discussed the attitude of George
on entangling alliances,
saying he did not believe Washington
meant the United States should not
come into contact with the world.
