 "There isn't any !. governmental part in fixing pursuit, profession or employment. Perhaps I ought to modify that and say-except during war, government did interfere for the war, and we want to end that interference, we want a free Am erica again. We want America free at home and free in the world We want to silence the outcry of nation against nation, in the fullness of understanding and we wish to si- fence the cry of class against class and stifle the party appeal to class so that we may insure tranquility in our freedom. If I could choose but one, I had rather have industrial and social peace at home than command the international peace of all the world
 Watchful Waiting.
 "1n the study of great world tra- gedy some one has pointed out that the world war might have been avoid ed if United Germanw had adopted that feature of our constitution which gives congress that right to declare war. Many advocates of pacifi- cism think our safeguards are not enough, that there should be a fer endum to the people before war. The other extreme is found among those who seriously propose that a coun- cil of foreign powers shall summon the sons of this republic to war any where in the world. I emphatically agree that no authority other than congress may call our. boys to bat tie. Accepting this truth, why make g situation which violates the good faith of nations?'
 
 Suppose that under the military alliance and the super-authority of Article X a program of armed for ccs is agreed upon, and the congress of the United States declines to respond, the executive would be called upon to carry on a war without constitutional author ity, or we should prove our compact no more than scrap of paper. We arc on the side of both safetly and honor to hold for ourselves the de- cision of our obligations to the world. We have played becoming part. in human progress, we will not fail to play it in that freedom of offconscience and action which ben efits confident republic. "Men prate about violated obliga- tions to the nations of the earth. The solemn truth is that our part in the world war was an obligation to ourselves performed in sympathy with associated, not allied powers and our splendid part in helping to win the war was the armed manifes- tation of American conscience, not the fulfillment of written obli- gation.
 'It was impossible to definitely fix our course amid the conditions in the wake of war. The world has to steady down. We have been talk. ing about getting back to normal That doesn't mean the old order. That doesn't means looking backward. Il is the short and easy way of saying
 again to stability 'once more tt
 regularity" There hasn't been |
 backward look in America for 900 years, but the man who faces tn, future with highest assurance is h,
 who has noted the paths which mad, his progress secure. We republican. hold that the intent of constitu , tional representative popular gov ernment, with the inspiration of ma
 tionality and fair chance for every man, have enabled men to write tn, supreme story of human and nation al advancement in all the world, ane !, we mean to hold the inheritance SC
