DIR .tHILL's VIEW.
DIR. J. Wesley Hill, the next speaker,
opened fire on Senator King at once. He
said, Senator King would have us think
the millennium had arrived when the
League of Nations was ratified. CDR. Hill
said, however, that before we can be
successful in foreign fields we must be
successful at,home II is time for Uncle
Sam to show his authority on the Western
Hemisphere. Until he demonstrates this
ability it is useless to boast Of our wonder
full power in remote places
1--WE must build on a solid unshakablc
accountability to Almighty God. That is
the source and inspiration of the consti-
tuition of our government. We arc not
adventures. The Monroe Doctrine
must be asserted and problems must be
settled in the light of history. There is one
word for America and that word is
"March," and that means progress.
Progress declared the speaker,
means getting somewhere and not moving
in circles Motion without progress is seen
in Congress- We want Congress to enact
needed and immediate legislation now.
We want legislation TO put the govern
ment back where the people have a right,
where strangulation has not been sub
stituted for regulation.
The speaker warned against the politi-
cal and religious reactionary. There are
new worlds he said, ''in the religious
and industrial universe"
international legislation mean.s Uncle
Sam to be an international bellboy to
respond to all the troubles of France and
England. where the United States has one
vote to their six. We don't want Bolshe- |
vism and by the Eternal God We will not |
permit it to come here"
The speaker advised the firing squad |
for Bolshevists. ''Ihose to be deported,
he said, should be placed on board ship |
loaded with stone and with lead sails |
and to sail for He'll as the nearest port.
Service and sacrifice is the meaning of |
patriotism in the reconstruction period. |
In his conclusion, the speaker urged that |
the Monroe Doctrine be lived up to and
Urged a change OF policy in Mexico.
