lean Congress:
ct is fearful thing to lead this
great and peaceful people INTO war,
into the most terrible and disastrous
of all wars, civilization itself SEEM
ing to be in the balance. But the
right is more precious than peace
and we shall fight for the things
which we have always carried near
est our hearts-for democracy, for
the right of those who submit to
authority to have a voice in their own
governments, for the rights and lib
critics of small nations, for univer-
sal dominion of right by such con-
cert of free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to, all natioIs and
make the world itself at last free. To
such a task we can dedicate our lives
and our fortunes, everything that we
are and everything that we have,
with the pride Of those who know
that the day has come when America
is privileged to spend her blood and
her might for the principles that gave
her birth and happiness and the peace
