have watched with growing horror and
amazement the appalling world catas-

dition to a policy of aloofness from
European alliances. This policy we
have struggled TO maintain. Through
all these weary months we have taken
no part except that Of messenger Of
Euccor and relief to the distressed.
But continued isolation from the
struggle has become increasingly i'm
possible. Neither the broad expanse Of
the Atlantic nor the faith Of treaties.
nor the instincts common to humanity
have sufficed to protect our peaceful
and law abiding citizens from the
assassin. With unbelievable patience
and self restraint we have seen our
flag insulted, our rights insolently In
Naded. our citizens, even women and
children. foully murdered upon the
