Of the people of the United States II I
did not say once more that we entered
this war upon no small occasion and
that we never can turn back from a
course chosen upon principle. Our
resources are in part modified now
and We shall not pause until they are
modified in their entirety.
Our armies are rapidly g-ing to
the fighting front and Will 20
more and more rapidly. Cur whole
strength win be put into this war
Of emancipation emancipation
frSm the threatened and attempt
ed mastery Of selfish groups OF
autOcratic ruiers-whateFer the
difficulties ard present partial
delays. We are indOmifable in our
power OF independent action and
can In no circumstances consent
to live in n world governed by In
trfgue and force.
we believe that our own desire for
a new international order under VIII oh
reason and justice and the common in
terests of mankind shall prevail Is
the desire OF enlightened men every
where Without that new order the
world will be without peace and hu-
man life will lack tolerable conditions
of existence and development Having
set our hand to the task Of achieving
1t, we shall not turn back.
Speech Isn't q Threat.
Il hope that it is not necessary for
me to add that no word OF what ]
have said IS intended as q threat
That is not the temper Of our people
I have spoken them only that the
whole world may know the true spirit
OF America-that men everywhere
may know that our passion for justice
and for self government is no passion
Of words. but a passion which once
set in action must be satisfied The
power OF the United states is a men
ace to no nation or people. It viii not be
used IN aggression or for the aggrsn-
own It sprin~s out OF freedom and
Is for the service OF freedom"
