Hazaiitossf1cit Speaks.
The presidenta address was, deliv-
cred after Dr. Hamilton Holt, who
headed the delegation, had made the
following address:
Mr.. Presidents We are a group
Of men and women who, although we
usually count ourselves Republicans,
hold steadfsstly to the convictions
that the league Of nations transcends
party politics and is the greatest
moral issue that has confronted the
American people in this generation.
We have reason to know that we
represen. vas. number of other Re-
publicans throughout the United
States who arc ready to put patriot
ism above party in the present criti-
cal hour.
As your term sof office is drawing
20 It's close, and; as the people are
about to express themselves on the
league Of nations which your states
manship has largely made possible,
we feel It both a duty and privilege
to call upon you at this time in or
der to assure you that there are
many Republicans who are proud to
acknowledge your great services to
the realm OF international justice and
who fully and deeply appreciate the
personal sacrifices you have been
forced to make for the cause nearest
your heart.
It was you who isst focused the
heterogeneous and often diverse aims
of the war on the one ideal of pure
Americanism, which is democracy. 1t
was you who suggested the basis on
which peace was negotiated. 1t was
you, more than any man, who trans
lated into practical craftsmanship the
age-old dreams Of the poets, the
prophets and the philosophers by set
ting up a league Of nations to the
end that cooperation should be sab
stituted for competition in interna'
tional affairs. These acts Of states
nanship were undoubtedly the chief
factors which brought about that
victorious peace which has shorn Ger
many of her power to su5due hel
neighbors, has compelled her to make
restitution for her crimes, has freed
Oppressed peoples, has restored raw
aeea territories, has created new
demoerac:es in the likeness cf the
United States and, above all, has SET
I'D the league cf nations.
