The policy of neutrality is truly American the Amer

For 2co years neutrality theory; America made it
a fact
The first president of the United States the first
to pronounce neutrality rule of international conduct
In April, 1893, Washington declared the doctrine and

court of the United States, in epoch-making decision

land The Declaration of independence had foretold by
declaring the rest of mankind enemies in war in peace
friends; the constitution recognized it, but the first preS
dent of the United States by proclamation, the first chief
justice by Interpretation gave vitality and power.
And neutrality is American in its initiation.
Thirty years later Prime Minister Canning in the British
parliament pointed this American policy of neutrality
as model for the world and eighty years later after APP
prova by various statutes and agreements it written
almost word for word in the treaty Wherewth settled
differences with England violations of neutrality
throughout the civil war
And so neutrality is American in its conSummation.
And today in this hail. that all the world may hear
proclaim that this American policy of neutrality is the
policy which the present administration pursues with patriot
c zeal and religious DEVOTION while Europes skies blaze

that the neutral rights of American citizens have been
so successfully maintained they have been asserted and

Americas doctrine of neutrality meant that this
nation must rush headlOng into at the first invasion of
its neutral rights. Neutrality not harggered policy
