and this IL the last war Of the kind
or OF any kind that involves the world
Il say that because I believe that the
business Of neutrality Is over; not be-
cause want it to be over, but mean
this. that war now has such a scale
that the position of neutrals sooner or
later becomes intolerable. Just as neu-
trality would be intolerable to me II
lived in a community where everybody
had to assert his own rights by force
and had to go around among my
neighbors and say, Here, this cannot
and see that nobody disturbs the peace
any more. That Is what society is. and
we have not yet society Of nations
We must have society of nations;
any hostile emphasis upon the demand,
but by the demonstration of the needs
of the time. the nations Of the world
must get together and say, Nobody
can hereafter be neutral as respects the
disturbance Of the worlds peace for an
object which the worlds opinion cannot
sanction
so that in struggling in the present
and in planning for the future, my
moral is. let US see to 1t that America
constitutes America as one Of the frac-
tions, is shot through with that spirit
of human sympathy, which is the only
spirit of true enterprise.
Speaks to Packed House.
President Wilson spoke last night at
the Music Hall, packed to the doors with
people. Men and women stood in the
aisles. Outside the streets were crowded.
When the President appeared on the
stage beside former Gov. Judsoh Harmon
of Ohio, the people stood and cheered,
waving American flags. 4
America is not made up out Of a
single Stock said the President. Here
we have a great melting pot. The sin
gular thing about America Is that 1t has
not the ambition that leads nations to
seek aggression.
should wish to take anything from other
nations. Do you not see, therefore. that
the problem Of one of your public serv-
ans is very difficult.
I'VE are the clearing house for the
sympathies of mankind.
I'VE are debtors to mankind to see
that we square our policies with human
liberty everywhere.
I'VE are lending money to the rest Of
the world. If we are going to lend money
for trade wars after this war is over we
will be denying our heritage.
America as financial nation has
this delicate duty of mediation; 1t must
see to 1t that 1t lends its money for the
advantage of mankind generally.
The problem we are engaged in now
is to see that our sympathies unite in
stead Of dividing u.s."
Speaks Of ''Unorganized" Nations.
The President spoke of the Ar
menians, the Poles and other peoples
who ARE unorganized."
He told of the pleas of these people
for food and succor.
I'VE can't carry food in for they are
surrounded by cordons of STEEL" he de-
clared.
I'VE could crush some nations If we
chose, for we are powerful, but we
want to help the small nations.
America is made up out Of the peo-
pies of the world. What future lies
before a people which can interpret the
rights of mankind everywhere"
Mentioning the federal reserve act
he said it placed credit before any one
who had security.
There was time when you had to
be known in influential quarters to get
credit" he continued. That Is no
longer necessary. We freed ourselves
from guardianship in order that we
might not commit the Importance OF
guardianship to other people. l don't
know how to take care of you and you
know perfectly well l do not know how
to take care of you"
The President was interrupted by
cries of Yes. you do" followed by
cheering.
mo, my fellow-citizens." he re-
sponded, II only try to find out what
you want me to do. and do it.
He repeated that the present war
was due largely to secret intrigues.
