whites against blacks or whether by blacks against whites.
 Tt is our duty to insist, first of all. on the restoration of order and the reign of law. Upon the foundation Of law and order We must build the struc- ture of justice
 Mir. Roosevelt then welcomed the Russian commission.
 "I am sure that 1 express the feel ings of my fellow countrymen when 1 say that it is a matter of heartfelt rejoicing among all the people of the United States to greet and to welcome this deputation from the new Russia, the great Russian democracy. As Q nation we have for many years fe t a peculiar sympathy with and admiration for the mighty Slav people of the for est of the steppe; for the young giant nation which as yet has half developed it's tremendous strength.
 t "In the past, ardent sympathy with and hope for the Russian people in America has had to struggle with a shocked disbelief in autocracy and with the whole policy of reaction and obscurantism.
 We held as our ideal, the hope that ultimately the mighty Russian empire might stand as here we at least try to stand, so that Jew and Catholic and Protestant might feel their conscience as free as the conscience of the or thodox, and a self governing Finland or the Caucasus or Armenia enjoy within the empire the liberty that New York and Texas enjoy within this union.
 Therefore, we hail you, men and n.
 felt rejoicing Now at least we can wish all success to Russia without any misgiving or mental reser- mighty Slav republic has blazed the trail of freedom and has won in legit- innate fashion the right to stand in the forefront of the onward movement of mankind. Now we have the right to expect that you will grant the men of other races and other creeds the rights to government, intellectual and re- ligious liberty which you so justly de- mand for yourselves
 ''In congratulating you and earnest ly wishing you Godspeed on the path of national greatness, do not under estimate the grave dangers that rise before and beside you. No liberty can be permanently secure unless it rests on foundation of order. No people can permanently escape control from without unless they practice control from within and civil strife within a nation invites and ultimately ensures aggression from some other nation. Self control is the surest safeguard against alien control 1t is because we Americans so deeply desire the per manent triumph of democracy iTs Russia that with all our hearts we hope for moderation in the use of your vic tory.
 All of us who love Russia are thankful beyond measure for the re- fusal of the Russian people to avenge past wrongs by the commission of present wrongs; we honor them for , the steadfast turning away from that course of action which would stain the i hands of liberty with blood. We most earnestly hope that what Russia has | by daring and courage achieved she ! will now preserve by cool headed wis dom by moderation and by practical recognition of the fact that liberty without order may prove as great a curse as order without liberty.
 And, oh, my friends: strive to secure liberty in the world at large and there- fore treat as traitors to Russia and to mankind all men who do not insist upon your exerting every particle ol your great strength to secure com plete victory over Germany and hel allies and tools; and such victory car
 be complete only when German mill
 tarism is utterly shattered.
 ."So much for the Russians. Nov
