Defines "Americanism."

I'VE have talked great deal about
Americanism. 1t ought to be a matter
of pride with US to know what Amer
icanism really consists in. American
ish consists in utterly believing in the
principles of America and putting them
first as above anything that might by
chance come into competition with it.
And I for my part believe that the
American test is a spiritual test.
eff a man has to make excuses for
what he has done as an American I
doubt his Americanism. He ought to
know at every step of his action that
the motive that lies behind what he
does ia a motive which no American
need be ashamed of for moment
Now. we ought to put this test to
every man we know. We ought to let
II be known that nobody who does not
nut America first can consort with US.
ant we ought to set them the exam
nle. We ought to set them the exam
ple by thinking American thoughts,
by entertaining American purposes, and
those thoughts and purposes will stand
the test of example anywhere in the
world. for they are intended for the
betterment of mankind.

words to you today. gentlemen. for

all sides are fresh in the minds Of
the people. Bnt no whispa. of scan

What has been said of tho other

of phosphates easily worth Il ety
billion dollars, and available TO Am
erican farmers for fertilization tdr
poses. Here, too, the Wilson admin
istration has exercised the same Wig
ilance and care and there is ne same
absence of criticism.
Alaska, that wonderful storehouse
of riches, was by preceding admins
trations first maltreated. then neg
lected. There were the Guggenheim
frauds and scandals Coal, timber.
and oil lands. harbor and wharfage
sites were frittered away with no
concern for the rights of the hun
dred million Americans who owned
them. Then when public opinion be
came outraged, this regime of waste
and exploitation was succeeded by a
period of stagnation, and Alaska was
locked up, it's resources unused. its
growth stopped. 1t fairly began to
wither/and die.
| But with the Wilson adninistra-
ton came a change and an awaken
ing, a new and better era for Alaska.
Fraud and scandal and rumors of
fraud have ceased. Alaska has come

these parks are being enlarged and
