Contrast the selfish narrowness

of WILSON.
Lovers Of liberty and justice all
the world over have looked to Amer
leo for inspiration, for guidance, for

not looked in vain, least of all in
the administration of Woodrow
Wilson. Under him the highest ira
ditions of America have been
maintained.
Great nations at war, in strug-
gle that each believed to threaten its
very existence, sought to disregard
the restrictions of International
Law. President Wilson with q
firmness that forced obedience and
patience that scrupulously OBJ
served all the principles and ideals
of the law he so insistently upheld,
has preserved to America and to
all nations International Law as o
rule of conduct among nations. He
preserved its very life, for no other
power than America could have
said "nay" to the nations at war.
In this President Wilson has not
only performed an immemOrial ser
vice to civilization and humanity
he has brought America to fulfill
her highest, broadcast, noblest des-
tiny.
