that we should unhesitatingly .vindi
cate that position. am confident there
would have been no destruction OF
American lives by the sinking of the
Lusitania. Moreover. firm American
policy would have been strongly sup
ported by our people and the oppor
tunities of the development of bitter
feeling would have been vastly re-
duced.
1T is a great mistake to say that
resoluteness in protecting American
rights would have led to war Rather
in that course lay the best assurance
of peace. Weakness and indecision
In the maintenance of known rights
are always sources of grave danger.
They forfeit respect and invite seri-
Gus wrongs, which in turn create an
uncomfortable popular resentment
That is not the path of national Sc.
curity
Weakness Invites War.
mot only have we host of re-
sources short of war by which to en-
force our Just demands, but we shall
never promote our peace by being
stronger in words than in deeds. We
should not have found it difficult to
maintain peace, but we should have
maintained peace with honor. During
this critical period the only danger OF
war has lain in the weak course OF the
administration.

poses," he said, and 1--WE denounce al
plote and conspiracies in the interes,

Referring to preparedness, Mr.
Hughes said:
1--WE are peace loving people, but
we live in a world of arms. We have
no thought of aggression and we de
sire to pursue our democratic ideals
without the wastes of strife. So de-
voted are we to these ideals, so intent
upon our moral development, that
do not believe that there is the
slightest danger of militarism in this
country. Adequate preparedness is
not militarism. 1t Is the essential as
surance of security: it is necessary
safeguard of peace.
Nation Is Unprepared.
ut is apparent that we are shock
ingly unprepared. There Is no room
for controversy on this point since
the object lesson on the Mexican
border. All our available regular
troops, less, believe, than 100000, are
there or in Mexico and as these have
been deemed insufficient the entire
national guard has been ordered out;
that is, we are summoning practical
ly all our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incursions. In
view of these warnings of the past
three years 1t is inexcusable that we
should find ourselves in this plight.
1--WE demand adequate national de-
tense, adequate protection on both
our Western and Eastern coasts. We
demand thoroughness and efficiency
in both arms of the service. 1t seems
to be plain that our regular army is
too small l believe, further, that
there should be not only reasonable

thority.
"In our proposals there is, repeat,
no militarism. There is simply in
sistence upon common sense in pro-
viding reasonable measures of secur-
ity and avoiding the perils of neglect.
We must have the strength of self re-
spect-a strength which contains no
threat, but assures our defense, safe
guards our rights and conserves our
peace"
New Conditions Will Arise.
Mr.. Hughes declares the country
was deeply interested in the organiza-
ton of peace. New conditions which
it must meet would follow end of the
war.
Again, we must build up our mer-
chant marine. We need the encour-
agement and protection of movement
for our shipping industry but it can
not afford to have the government as
a competitor"
On the subject of labor Mr.. Hughes
said that he did not desire production
or trade or efficiency in either, for it's
own sake, but for the betterment of
the lives of human beings. He said
that there are few disputes which can
not be easily adjusted if there be an
impartial examination of the facts. He
said he stood for adequate federal
workman's compensation laws.
On the subject of agriculture and
conservation, Mr. Hughes said he ia
vored an effective system of rural
credits.
