matter.
International Relations.
The Democratic administration has
throughout the present war scrupu-
ously and successfully held to the old
paths of neutrality and 10 the peace
iul pursuit OF the legitimate objects
or our national life which statesmen
OF all parties and creeds have pre-
scribed for themselves in America
since the beginning Of our history.
But the circumstances of the last two
years have revealed necessities Of in
iernational action which no former
generation can have foreseen. We
hold that it is the duty of the United
States to use its power. not only to
make itself safe at home, but also
TO make secure its just interests
throughout the world and both for
thls end and In the interest of hui
manity, TO assist the world in secur-
ing settled peace and Justice.
we believe that every people has
the right 10 choose the sovereignty
under which it shall live: that the
small states Of the world have a right
TO enjoy from other nations the same
respect for their sovereignty and for
their territorial integrity that great
and powerful nations EXPECT and in
sist upon; and that the world has a
right to be free from every disturb
ance of its peace that has its origin in
aggression or disregard of the rights
of peoples and nations; and we be-
lievc that the time has come when II
is the duty Of the United States 10
join with the other nations Of the
world IT. any feasible association that
will effectively serve those principles
TO maintain inviolate the complete Sc
curity of the highway of the seas for
the common and unhindered use OF
all nations.
The present administration hal
consistently sought to act upon an,

affairs Of the nation the principle tina
