 One may readily sence the con Sctehce of our America. I am sure I uhaerstand the purpose of the dom aiant group of the senate We were not seeking to defeat a world asnfra ton. We were resolved to safeguard America We were resolved then eFt1H as We are today. and will be to- morrow. to preserve this free and independent republic. Let those now responsible, or seeking responsibilitv. propose the surrender. whether with interpretations, apologies or reluctant eseFvations-from which our rights are 10 be omitted-we welcome the refeThndum to the American people on the preservation of America, and the Republican party pledges it's de- Tense Of the preserved inheritance of national freedom.
 Promises Effective Peace
 In the call of the conscience of
 America is peace, peace that
 closes the gaping wound of world
 Wac, and sileaces the irnpassioned
 voices of international envy and
 dfstrust.- Heedins this call and
 knowing as 1 do the disposition Of
 the congress, l promise you for
 nal and ffectiVe peace so quickly
 as Republican congress can pass
 rts declaration for . Republican
 executive to sign-- Then we may
 turn to our read iustnaent at home
 and proceed deliberately and re-
 flectiVety to that hoped for world
 reiationship which shall satisfy
 both conscience and aspirationa
 and still hold us free from rnenac~
 ing Involvement.
 can hear in the call of conscience an Snststent voice for the largely re- durea a-rTnaInents Throughout the w0raA, with attending reduction of burdens upon peace loving humanity, We wish to give of American inflg- -eazce and example; we must give of -AzueTfcan leadership to that invSl- uahle accomplishment

 This republic can never be unmind- ful of its power, and must never for get the force of its example. Posses sor Of might that admits no fear, Amer1ca must foremost for the right. A mistaken voice of America,f spoken n unheeding haste, led Europe, in the hour. of deepest anxiety, into mili- tarys alliance which menaces peace and sthreateneS all freedom. instead of adding to their security, then we must speak the truth for America and express our hope for the fraternized conscience of nations
 Pact Negotiated In Misunderstanding
 It will avail nothing to discuss in detail the league covenant which was conceived for world super government, D negotiated in misunderstanding, and intoIerantlY urged and demanded by its administration sponsors, who re- sisted every effort to safeguard Amer ? ica- and who finally rejected when such e safeguards were inserted. If the supreme bluDder has left European relationships, inextricably interwoven in the league compact, our sympathy for Europe only Inagnifies our own good Fortune in resisting involvement It is. better to be the free and dis interested agent of international jus2 tice and advancing civilization, with the Covenant of conscience, than be . .zl2si1led by a written compact which surrenGers our freedom of action and gives to a military alliance the right to proclaim Americas duty to the world. No surrender of rights to a world council or it's military alliance no assumed mandatory, however ap- pealing, ever shall summon the sons of this republic to war. Their su- prelne sacrifice shall only be asked for America and it's call of honor There is a sanctity in that right we will not delegate
