that 1 have been present at one
Of the most vital things that has
happened in the history Of ma
tions. Nations have formed con-
tracts with each other before, but
they never have formed partner
ships. They have associated
themselves temporarily, but they
have never before associated
themselves permanently.
War Was n Great Wrong.
The wrong that was done in
the waging of this war was a
great wrong. but it Weakened the
world to a great moral necessity
of seeing that it was necessary
that men should band themselves
together in order that such wrong
should never be perpetrated
again.
Merely to beat a nation that
was wrong once is not enough.
There must follow the warning to
all other nations that would do
like things that they in turn will
be vanquished and shamed If they
attempt a dishonorabIe purpose.
Not n Spiritual GOod-By.
You can see. therefore. sir,
with what deep feelings those OF
us who must now for a little
while turn away from France,
shall leave your shores; and
though the ocean is broad il will
seem very narrow in the future.
1t will be easier to understand
each other than il ever was be-
fore and with the confident inter
course of cooperation, the I'M
derstanding will be strengthened
into action, and action will itself
educate alike our purpose and
our thought.
So, sir. in saying good-by to
France I'm only saying a sort Of
physical good-by, not a spiritual
good-by. 1 shall retain in my
heart always the warm feelings
which the generous treatment Of
this great people has generated
