HOW TO SECURE PEACE
Only with Liberty and BY sympa.
: titles Of Men Will it Come:to
World. Saws President.

New York, Dec. president vii.
Son, speaking Saturday night at the
banquet which was the elimination OF
the celebration in. honor Of the per,
nanent illumination of the Statue OF
Liberty in New York harbor, de-
clarcd that he had thought for the
last two years that "peace is going
to come to the world only with lib.
<erty." .uc
"fhe peace OF the world" Mr.. Viii
son added, ais not going to be Sc
cured by the compacts of nations
but by the sympathies of men.
The President declared that the
United States has community of
ideas with France, whose people pre-
sented Bartholdi's statue to the
United States, because zone republic
must love another.
The President spoke of the signifi.
canoe OF the Statue Of Liberty to
the immigrants. He said ne wonder
ed whether the spirit typified by the
spirit of the statue ia truly repre-
scented here.
The President said he noticed that
the source of light for the statue
comes from the outside"
"The only light that we can CON-
tribute to the illumination of the
world is the light that shines out Of
our own lives. We must illustrate lib
erty in our lives. With all due res
pect for those who represent other
nations not governed as ours, l do
net think that nations ruled by small
groups of men can be successful ;,
1.-THE world", declared The Presi-
dent, "is enlightened by ideas and
ideals, and the sacrifices of men en-
able the world to go forward"
Continuing, the President said:
Il was struck by the closing phrase
Of Mr.. rulitzer's admirable little
speech.He said that there would come
day when it was perceived that the
Goddess Of Liberty was also the God
dess Of Peace, and throughout the
last two years there has come more
and more into my heart the convic
ton that peace is going to come to
the world only with liberty.
With all due and sincere respect
for those who represent other forms
OF governments than ours, perhaps
| may be Permitted to say that peace
cannot come so long as the destinies
of men are determined by small
groups who make selfish choices of
their own.
