Permanent Peace Desired.
Addressing the statesmen, President
Wilson declared in part.
We desire permanent peace; per
manent peace can grow only in one
soil. That is a soil of actual good will.
and good will cannot come without
mutual comprehension
Il near some gentlemen say tha,
they want to help Mexico and the way
they propose to help her is to over
whelm her with force
That is the long way as well as the
wrong way. Because after the fight
ing YOU have a nation fun of justified
suspicion and animated by well
founded hostility and hatred and then
will YOU help them Then will you
establish cordial business relations
with them? Then will you go in as
.neighbors and enjoy their confidence .
on the contrary YOU will have shut
every door as if it We're of steel.
What makes Mexico suspicious of
us Is that She does not believe as vet
that We want to serve her She be-
heVes we want to possess her. And
she has justification for the belief i'm
the way in which some Of our fellow
citizens have tried to exploit her priv
ileges and possessions For my part.
| Will not serve the ambitions Of those
gentlemen. but ! will try to serve all
America, so far as intercourse with
MeXiCo is concerned by trying to serve
Mexico herself"
The president insisted however,
upon the absolute right of the United
states to defend her border, but as to
going further stated his position by a
reference to the Virginia hill Of rights.
Stands by Bill of Rights
The bin says that a people have 70
right to DO anything they please with
their own country and their own gov
ernment," he said. II am going to
stand by that bill. That is for the
benefit OF those gentlemen who want
to butt in"
The president then spoke Of the vail
ne Of mutual understanding and ad-
ded:
You cannot hate q man you know.
| know some rascals that ! have tried
to hate | have tried to head them
off as rascals but / have been unable
TO hate them. In the relationship of
antagonisms are based upon misun-
derstandings and as long as you do
not understand country you cannot
trade with 1t. As long as you cannot
take its point of view you cannot COM
mend your goods to its purchase.
"This, then, my friends, is the sim
pie message that | bring you: Lift
your eyes to the horizons of business
hrf Il oil n ht 10
processes with which sou are con-
'Cerned, but let your thoughts and
your imaginations run abroad
throughout the whole world and with
the inspiration of the thought that you
are American and are meant to carry
liberty and Justice and the principles
of humanity wherever YOU go, go out
and sell goods that will make the
world more comfortable ana more
happy, and convert them TO the prin-
ciples of America
Opposed 10 Trustee Theory.
In the second speech delivered by
President Wilson he made at the
luncheon at the Detroit Athletic club
ne declared:
Some democrats have noticed that
the inclination to suppose that only
of America has tendency to run
into the assumption that the number
of persons who understood that busi-
ness Is very small and that there are
only certain groups and associations
of gentlemen who were entitled to be
trustees Of that business for the rest
of us. / have never subscribed in any
walk of life to the trustee theory
always have been inclined to believe
that the business of the world was
best understood by those men who
were i'm the struggle for maintenance,
not only, but for success.
The man who knows the strength
Of the tide is the man who is swim
ming against it, not the man who rs
floating with it, The man who is i'm
mCrsed in the beginning Of business,
who IS trying to get his foothold. who
Is trying to get other men to believe
in him and lend him money and trust
him TO make profitable use Of that
money. is the man who knows what
the business conditions in the United
States are. and / would rather take
his counsel as TO what ought to be
done for business than the counsel OF
any establish captain of industry
Because the captain of industry Is
looking backward and the other man
is looking forward
The conditions Of business change
with every general change with every
decade: are now changing with an all
most breathless pace, and the men
who have made good are not tethng
the tides as the other men are frelns
chem The men who have got into
the position of captaincy, unless lntl
