TO USE FORCE AS

! am tempted when ! stand face to
lace with you to take off all guard
and merely expose myself to you as
the fallible human being that ] am.
MIR. Colby said something that was
among the few things | had forecast
to say myself. He said there are
things which II is really useless TO
debate. because they go as a matter
of course
"Of course it is our duty to prepare
this nation to take care of its honor
and OF its institutions Why debate
any part of that except the detail. ex-
cept the plan itself, which is always
debatahle.
OF COURSE. CERTAIN
DUTIES ARE OBVIOUS
"Of course. 1t is the duty of the gov
eminent. which II will never overlook.
TO defend the territory and people of
this country. IT goes without saying
that II is the duty of the adminstra-
ton 10 have constantly in mind with
the utmost sensitiveness every point of
national honor.
But, gentlemen, after you have said
and accepted these obvious things your
program of action Is still 10 be formed
When Will YOU act and how will you
act? The easiest thing is TO strike
The brutal thing is the impulsive thing
No man has TO think before he takes
aggressive action, but before man
really conserves the honor by realizing
the ideals of the nation he has TO think
exactly what he will do and how he
will do IT,
DO you think the glory of America
would be enhanced by a war Of con-
quest in Mexico? Do you think that
any act of violence by a powerful
nation like this against weak and
distracted neighbor would reflect dis
tinction upon the annals of the United
States?
do YOU think II is our duty 10 carry
self-defense to a point OF dictation into
the affairs OF another people? The
ideals of America are written plain
upon every page of American history.
And ! want YOU to know how fully
| realize whose servant I am. do not
own the government of the United
states. even for the time being have
no right in the use of ii to express my
express my own ambitions for the de-
velopment of America, il those ambi-
tons are not colncident with the ambi-
tions OF the nation itself
And / have constantly to remind
myself that am not the servant of
those who wish TO enhance the value
OF their Mexican investments. but that
am the servant OF the rank and file
OF the people Of the United States
