but they forget 1t does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles 1t has pro-
fessed for q century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for a slogan our OBJ
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
y Now national honor is not the whim
Of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason OF a
whole people feeling the emotions of
nature and following the dictates of
God.
And It is for this reason that ''the
power" to declare war Is conferred
by the Constitution Of the United
States, not on the individual viii of
president but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision of
the congress Of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius of this country is for
peace. There is no danger OF mill
tarism.
: We have built our greatness on the
resources OF nature and the peace
full toll OF our people.
With US war has never been a
choice, it has always been a fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk Of war so high In the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull II down. But when some other
tribe among the races Of men sends
US bundle Of arrows wrapped in
the skin OF rattlesnake, we want to
be In a position to send that rattle
smokes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need Of the police
man on the beat. the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war across the seas has
brought home to US the fear that so
long as men are men and nations ma
lions, wars viii continue.
For these reasons this administra-
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration In
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but 1t is prepared.
ness for defense. not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.
These, then. are the principles that
have been asserted and followed By
the president Of the United States
