In the attainment OF this hope, the

citizens from participation in the con-
flict that now devastates the nations
across the seas.
Second: That the United States in
its relations with the European bellig-
erents must continue the policy that it
has pursued since the beginning of the
war, the policy of strict neutrality in
relation TO every warning nation, the
policy Of which Thomas jefferson de-
fined as rendering to all the services
and courtesies of friendship and pray
ing for the re-establishment of peace
and rightr'
Third: That save where the liberties,
the territory or the substantial rights
of the United States are invaded and
assaulted, il is the duty of this nation
to avoid war by every honorable means.
Fourth: That it IS the duty of the
United States government to maintain
the dignity and the honor of the Ameri-
can nation and in every situation to
demand and secure from every belliger-
ent the recognition Of the neutral rights
of its citizens.
Fifth: That because the president of
the United States has asserted these
principles and pursued these policies
the American people must support him
with ardOr and with enthusiasm in order
that these principles and policies may
be known to all the world, not as the
opinion Of an individual but as the doc
trine and faith of a loyal and united
nation.
In emphasis of these self-evident prop-
ositions we assert that the policy of
neutrality is as truly American as the
American flag.
For 200 years neutrality was a theory:
America made il a fact.
The first president Of the United
States was the first man to pronounce
neutrality a rule of international con-
duct.
WASHINGTON LAID DOWN

doctrine; and within a month John Jaw

United States, i'm an epoch-making de.
cisiOn from the bench, whose realization
would ensure universal and perpetual
peace, wrote the principle into the law
Of this land. The Declaration Of Inde-
pendence had fOretold il by declaring
the rest Of mankind enemies in
war. in peace friends" the constitution
recognized il; but the first president of
the United States by proclamation, the
first chief Justice by Interpretation gave
it vitality and power.
And so neutrality is American in its
initiation.

We who gather in this hall. stand
for the Americanism of the fathers
who laid the foundations OF this ma
ton so strong and deep that no storm
has ever rocked them, no upheaval
ever moved them. We stand for the
-Americanism which under the magic
spell OF citizenship and the mystic

converts men of every country into

Mac state of Europe we should not es-
innate the point of honor by the ordl-
nary scale" The reasoning which made
this sound rule in 'the maniac state
of Europe" in Jefferson's day makes IT
an equally strong rule in "the maniac
state of Europe" today.
. This nation, let us never forget, has
always remembered that neutrality is
a policy which is asserted against ma
tions at war, against nations inflamed
and disordered. 1t has ALWAYS been
wise enough to proceed with calmness
and patience, and events have ever justi-
fed it's willingness to appeal from Philip
drunk with war to Philip sobered by
reason and reflection.
The issue, raised by our opponents, of
the vigor with which our neutrality has
been enforced is a comparative issue
which can be decided only by compare
tive results.
And what are the comparative results?
How stands the record of this admins
tration compared with other admins
trations?
When Grant was president during
the war between Spain and the Spanish
West Indies, a Spanish gunboat seized
the vessel "Virginius" flying the Amer
lean flag and Spanish commandant in
cold blood shot the captain of the "Vir-
ginius" thirty-siX of the crew and six
teen of the passengers.
But we didn't go to war. Grant set

the president of the United states is
irving to do TODAY.

ordered the seizure and confscation of

settled our troubles by. negotiations Just
as the president of the United States is
trying to do today.
When Adams was president France
preyed upon our commerce. She extend
ed her seizure, searches and confisca-
tiOns to the very waters of the United
States themselves until she had piled
up in our state department charges OF
over 1900 violations of neutrality's law.
American ambassadors who sought to
adjust these wrongs were refused recog-
milton and openly insulted at the French
court. President Adams called Wash
ingtOn out of retirement to head the
army, he created the navy department
and he built twelve battleships.
ADAMS SETTLED OUR TROUBLES
BY PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS.
But we didn't go to war. Adams SET
tied our troubles by negotiations just as
the president of the United States is
trying to do today.
When Washington was president and,
neutrality" first declared, war convuls-
ed Europe, our ships dared not to put
out to sea, commerce was paralyzed and
business depressed American passen-
gers and American crews were thrown
into prison and deprived of legal rights.
Genet, tie minister from France, fitted
out privateers in our harbors, flouted
our officials, and tried to rally this coun-
try to the support of France in return
for the help France gave us in the Rev
dictionary war. England and France
seized 400 of our ships and. confiscated
millions of dollars worth of our prop
erty, and up in Quebec Lord Dorches-
ter promised Canadian Indians the pleas
ure of burning American homes and
scalping American citizens.
But we didn't go to war. Washington
settled our troubles by negotiation just
as the president of the United States is
trying to do today.
In the face of this record do Republic
ans realize that when they arraign the
policy of the president of the United
States today they arraign the policy of
Harrison, of Blaine of Lincoln and of
Grant? For the pleasure of criticising
a Democratic president, are they will
ing to read out of the Republican party
the greatest men the Republican party
ever had? Are they willing to say
that the Republican party of today
condemns what Hamilton did in the
Revolutionary days. what Lincoln did in
Civil war days and what Grant and
Blaine and Harrison did but yesterday?
In his policy of peaceful negotiations
today the president of the United states
follows the example set him by the
greatest presidents the Democratic par
ty and the greatest presidents the Re-
publican party ever gave this nation.
Do the critics of the present admin
istration believe that Lincoln should
have risked national disaster by using
the sword rather than the pen in press
ing the Alabama claims? Are they will
ing to brand Grant as a coward because
he kept us at peace with Spain?
