Extract From Message.
In tho message he said: 'As people
we have played q large part in the
world, and we are bent upon making
our future even larger than the past.
In particular. the events of the last
four years have definitely decided
that for woe or for veal our place
must be great among the nations.
We may either fail greatly or succeed
greatly, but we cannot avoid the en-
deavor from which either great fall
ure or great success must come.
We do not shrink from the strug-
gle before us. There are many prob
lens before, us. There are many
problems for us to face at the outset
of the twentieth century-Erave. prob
lens abroad and still graver problems
at home; but we know that We can
solve them and we will solve them"
Authorities have pointed to the
statement that I'VE cannot avoid the
endeavor from which either. great
failure or great success must come"
as forecast Of the part Of the United
States in the world war.
