said when asked what he would do if

THAT is big question. There are SO

said:
1.-The United States today is in the
same position in relation to the rest Of
the world as the thirteen original
states were in regard to what is now
the United States. Just as the original
thirteen states had at their very doors
the whole continent from the Alleghe

American energy. There is the whole
world to conquer, the whole Of man
kind to serve. That is the opportunity
Of the United States.
"Just at present and for some years
to come England and France, the great
capitalist nations that up to now have
developed the earth and given civiliZa-
ton to the raw and naked lands, will
be shut off from competing with u.s..
We can, we will, have the field to our
selves and the whole world to develop.
''The mere statement of the fact that
this country stands today in relation to
the world just where the thirteen
states stood in relation to this country
sixty or seventy years ago must show
any man who knows this country how
great our opportunity is.
"What is going on now in the Unit
ed States is the natural community
growth, and the great Mississippi val
ley and the west are creating and keep
ing their own wealth and are rapidly
getting to the point where the thirteen
original states were when they had to
send their sons beyond their own bor-
ders to develop the great country which
is now the United States.
"This might have gone on for some
few more years, but the great war in
Europe has brought to our doors an OPP
portunity that this nation must seize.
Alone of all the great powers the Unit
ell States is in position to carry on
the great work of civilization on earth.
It is our duty to do the great things
that are waiting to be done, our duty
to develop other countries, our duty to
be of service to mankind. And it is
not only our duty; it is also to our
prout.
'There will be whole countries in
Europe to be rebuilt, for property of
every description is being destroyed on
a scale never dreamed Of before. That
is their work and will occupy them for
some time, but lying right at our door
there are Mexico and Central and
South America and all those rich and
fertile countries that are crying for de-
velopment that must come and now
can only come through the United
States.
"After all, that will only be the Unit
ed States doing for the world what the
thirteen states did for this country of
ours. Within the lifetime of men who
are still active just think what tremen-
dous changes have been wrought!'
