President Wilson's message to Con
,ress TO-DAY In fun, follo1cs:
When addressed myself to per-
forming the duty laid upon the
President by the Constitution to pre-
sent to you an annual report on the
state OF the Unron / found myself
dominated by an immortal sentence
of Abraham Lincoln's: Let us have
faith that right makes might, and in
that faith let us dare TO do our duty
as we understand it." sentence i'm
mortal because IL embodies in q
form of utter simplicity and purity
the essential state of the nation, the
faith in which Ii was conceived and.
the faith in which it has grown to
glory and power
With that faith and the birth
OF a nation founded upon II came
the hone into the world that a new
order would prevail throughout the
affairs of mankind, an order in
which reason and right would take
precedence of covetousness and
force, and believe that / express
the wish and purpose Of every
thoughtful American when ] say
that this sentence marks for us
in the plainest manner the part we
should play alike In the arrange
ments Of our domestic affairs and
in cur exercise Of influence upon
the affairs OF the world. BY this
faith and by this faith alone can
the world be lifted out of its present
confusion and despair.
Faith which Defeated Germany.
1t was this faith which prevailed
over the wicked force Of Germany.
You will remember that the begin
ming of the end of the war came
when the German people found
themselves face to face with the
conscience of the world and real
lied that right was everywhere ar
rayed against the wrong that their
Government was attempting to per-
petrate. I think, therefore, that it
is true to say that this was the
faith which won the war. Ger
tainly this is the faith with which
our gallant men went into the field
and out upon the seas to make sure
of victory.
This is the mission upon which
democracy came into the world.
Democracy Is an assertion Of the
right of the individual to live and
to be treated justly as against any
attempt on the part Of any combi-
nation of individuals to make laws
which will overburden him or which
will destroy his equality among his
in thn af ,~ic
privilege, and l think we all realize
that the day has come when democ-
racy Is being put upon its final test.
The Old World Is just now suffering
from wanton rejection Of the prin-
ciple of democracy and a substitu-
ton Of the principle of autocracy as
asserted In the name, but without
the authority and sanction of, the
multitude. This Is the time of all
others when democracy should prove
its purity and its spiritual power to
prevail. 1t is surely the manifest
destiny of the United States to lead
In the attempt to make this spirit
prevail.
United states as Example.
There are two ways in which the
United States can assist to accom-
pllsh this great object: First, by
offering the example within her own
borders of the will and power Of
democracy to make and enforce
laws which are unquestionably just
and which are equal to their adj
ministration-laws which secure it's
full right to labor and yet at the
same time safeguard the integrity
OF property. and particularly OF that
property which is devoted to the
development Of industry and the in
crease Of the necessary wealth Of
the world. Second, by standing for
right and justice as towards indi-
yidual nations. The law of democ-
racy is for the protection of the
weak, and the Influence OF every
democracy in the world should be
for the protection OF the weak ma
ton. the nation which is struggling
towards It's right and towards it's
proper recognition and privilege In
the family Of nations.
The United States cannot refuse
this role of champion without put
ting the stigma OF rejection upon
the great and devoted men who
