sheer hypocrisy to chatter ten days be-

AT Cincinnati on Thursday. the day
before yesterday. President Wilson Ut.
tered words which can be justified only
by unstinted condemnation Of everything
he has done In foreign affairs since
he became President. MIR. Wilson said
This is the last great war that involves
the world that the United States car
keep out Of. The business of neutrality
is over. War now has u C n scale that
the position OF neutrals sooner or later
becomes intolerable. Nobody can here
after be neutral a. respects the disturb

ject which the worlds opinion cannot
sanction. From this time on Americs

IT now wish you to consider the exac
words I am using when ! say that n
President In all our history has eve
before yentured to use such lofty word
OF promise when his deeds In the pas
have been precisely such as these word
necessarily must severally condemn
Insincerity and hypocrisy. when sue
cessful In high places. work ruin to
nations soul: n never have we ha'
Il greater degree Of insincerity and ny
pocrlsy than is contained In such a ple'
for reelection by the President who ma
himself practised the coolest and mos
selfish neutrality when all these thing
that in the abstract he condemns wer
In the concrete committed at the ex
pense OF Belgium and OF the Armenian
and Of the Syrian Christians.
president Wilson appeals for suppor
on the ground that ne has kept us ou
Of war; and now at the last momen
he says that never again Is the Unite
States TO keep out OF u a war. Wha
does he mean?
IF II was just to keep out OF thi
war, then 1t would be just In the ~
ture to keep out Of all similar wars
II the President, on the other hand !
right In saying that we never shall kee
out Of any such wars In the future. the
nc condemns himself for keeping gu
OF this war.
What does he mean by promisin
In the fu,ure the exact reverse OF wha
he has done In the past and Is now do

Don't talk as to what will be don
In the future when you do not dare
