United States Into Came" Grey's Advice

them or not just they please after they have GOT the
money.
We cannot blame Europe for wanting in the League
Of Nations cannot blame her statesmen for trying to
humbug us Lloyd George did with Wilson, cannot
blame their newspapers for trying to bully and backguard
in we blame their diplomats like Lord Grey for
trying to cajoe and seduce in any more than we can
blame the spider for trying to persuade the fly to walk into
his little parlor and for describing the little paror in ar
ing terms as coxest little paror that she did spy
But we CAN blame the American so-caled statesmen
who are hoodwinked buied cajoled in any way
influenced properly improperly to put this American
ton into the spider web Of European intrigue sslshness
and deceit into European conflicts and compoations in
word into the European entangng alliances" which the
Great Founder of this Republic warned us to avoid.
Who the men who will vote to upset the recognised
principles and the established policies which this country
has grown to be the greatest in the world?
Who are the men who will vote to lead this country
from the beaten highway on which 1t has marched to the
greatest progress and the greatest prosperity that any ma
ton has known and take into the hicket Of Euro
pean ngues and into the of European wars and
bankruptcies spite Of the gnposs Of American prece
dents pointing to the right road and the warnings OF all our
great Presidents and all great urging not to de-
part from the safe road that have travelled lest be
lost in the tangle of European complications and sunk in
the slough of their revolutions and Bankruptcies?
Citizens Of the United States if saved from such
caamities let remember to reward the who saved
though hardly realize as yet how great those
calamities might be-
But we are projected into those disasters let
member times to execute and punish the men who
brought those disasters upon u.s. for shall then know
through hard experience the burden and the bitterness Of
these calamiies
We that every statesman who casts vote on
this vital policy involving the whole past and the whole
future of the United States of America will want as many
citizens possible Loyalty and parioticay interested in
the welfare of the country to know how he voted and to
REMEMBER how he voted.
And the Hearst publications-read by twenty five
million Americans and increasing daily in the number Of
their -solemny pledge themselves to keep those
statesmen and their votes for as be nee
essay before the American people, in order that the people
may Judge the merit and ability and patriotism of those
statesmen according to the consequences Of their act
is entirely possible that party lines may be lost sight
of in this great decision the future of country
and that may vote for very high reasons of patriotism
for very low of patronage and expediency and
that neither of the old parties may offer the means
through which ohasse those who faithess mis-
taken in this great moment
In which instance the Hearst papers, from the sncerest
of duty their country and its people, will consecrate
themselves to the formation of party wholly Con-
stutional and absolutely American lines whose dominating
idea will be "Amerca First and whose sole devotion will
to the Liberty Democracy and INDEPENDENCE which
have made America first Of all the nations of the world
