Turning to the economic boycott,
provided against the break

Europe could stand under such boy
colt for six months
yet we are told this IS a covenant
of war" he continued. 1T is the
most drastic covenant of peace ever
conceived The processes Of discus
sion are the processes of peace"
Needs Settled Conditions.
1.-THE world is desperately in need
of the settled conditions of peace"
said the president, and it cannot wait
much longer. 1t is waiting upon us.
That is the thought. that is the bur
densome thought upon my heart to-
night, that the world is waiting for
the verdict of the nation to which it
looked for leadership and which it
thought would be the last that would
ask the world to wait

realize how all the passions that have
been slumbering for ages have been

What happened in Russia was not
q sudden and accidental thing. The
people of Russia were maddened with
the suppression of cZarism. When at

means government by terror, govern
ment by force, not government by
vote.
