Club dinner that America ought to
keep out Of the European war "at the
sacrifice Of everything except this SIN
gle thing upon which her character
and her history are founded, her sense
Of humanity and Justice"
The address was confidential, since

per correspondents. are not reported.
It was made public, however, with the
consent Of the president and the club,
because many of those who heard it
urged that it should go to the country.
