Wilson today declared that "rh!s Is
the last war that involves the world
that the United States can keep out
Of"
He gave as his reason his belief
that "the business Of neutrality is
over" and "that vas now had such
a scale that the position OF neutrals
sooner or later becomes intolersble."
He added that the nations Of the
world must get together and say:

respects the disturbance OF the
worlds peace for an object which
the worlds opinion can not sanction.
After denying the Republican claim
that the business prosperity Of the
United States during the last two
years has been due to trade created
by the war, the president ridiculed
predictions that after the war Europe
will overwhelm this nation by its
economic strength and dump" in
the United States goods now being
stored up for that purpose. He as
serted that exports of everything thai
goes to supply armies make only 1
per cent. of the total of American
commerce.
