INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The democratic administration has
throughout the present war scrupu-
lously and successfully held to the old
paths Of neutrality and of the peaceful
pursuit of the legitimate objects Of our
national life. which statesmen of all
parties and creeds have prescribed
for themselves in America since
the beginning Of our history. But
the circumstances Of the last two
years have revealed necessities Of
international action which no for
mer generation can have foreseen.
We hold that 1t is the duty of the
United States to use its power not
only to make itself safe at home,
but also to make secure its just in
terests throughout the world. and,
both for this end and in the inter-
est of humanity, to assist the world
in securing settled peace and jus?
tice.
We believe that every people has
the right to choose the sovereignty
under which 1t shall live: that the
small states Of the world have a
right to enjoy from other nations
the same respect for their sover-
eighty and for their territorial in
tegrity that great and powerful ma
tions expect and insist upon: and

McCully receiving word from the de-
partment to pack up all the books and
supplies and return them. The Shell
don office was made postal savings
bank about five years ago, but from
the beginning the business was almost
failure at that point. Two per cent
interest per year did not appeal to in
vestors and some S18 was the highest
amount on deposit at any one time
and the past year or so it has only
been few cents. The postmaster
was not at all unwilling to give up this
department of his stamp shop, as con-
siderable work is done away with now,
one less report being required to the
department at the end Of each month.
