FREEDOM FOR AUSTRIA

We owe it, however, to ourselves to
say that we do not wish in any way
to impair or to rearrange the Austro-
Hungarian empire. II Is no affair OF
ours what they do with their own life,
either industrially or politically We
do not purpose or desire to dictate to
them In any way. We only desire to
see that their affairs are left in their
own hands. in all matters, great or
small. We shall hope to secure for
the peoples of the Balkans peninsula
and for the people of Turkish empire
the right and opportunity to make
their own lives safe. their own for
tunes secure against oppression or in
justice and from the dictation OF for
eign court or parties. And our atti-
tude and purpose with regard to Ger
many herself are of a like kind. We
intend no worng against the German
empire. no interference with inter
national affairs. We should deem
either one or the other injustifiable,
absolutely contrary to the policies we
have professed to live and to hold
most sacred throughout our life as "A

Gentlemen Of Congress:

Eight months have elapsed since !
last had the honor Of addressing you.
They have been months crowded with
events of immense and grave signifi-
canoe for us. / s.lall not undertake
to detail or even to summarize those
events. The practical particulars of
the part We have played in that will
be laid before you in reports Of the
executive departments. shall dis
cuss only our present outlook upon
these vast affairs. our present duties
and immediate means of accomplish
ing the objects we shall hold always
in view. I shall not go back to debate
the causes OF the war. The intolera BILE
wrongs done and planned against us
by the sinister masters of Germany
have long since become too grossly
obvious and odious to every true
American to need to be rehearsed. But
/ shall ask you to consider again and
with very grave scrutiny our objec-
tives and the measures by which we
mean to attain them. Our object is,
of course, to win the war and we shall
not slacken or suffer ourselves to be
diverted until 1t is won. But it is
the question OF when shall we con
slider the war won? From one point
of view II is not necessary to broach
this fundamental matter do not
doubt that the American people know
what the war is about and what sort
OF an outcome they will regard as q
realization OF their purpose in It, AS
nation we are united in spirit and
intention. l pay little heed to those
who tell me otherwise. hear voices
of dissent. Who does noto | hear
criticism and ciamor of the noisy,
thoughtless and troublesome I also
see men here and there fling them
selves in impotent disloyalty against
the calm, indomitable power of the
nation. | hear men debate peace who
understand neither its nature nor the
way in whi.i. We may attain it, But
know that none Of these speaks for the
nation. They do not touch the heart
of anything. They may safely be left
to strut theiI uneasy hour and be for
