one nation, howsoever rich and
strong, can not rest easy and prosper
GUS while others are distraught is
necessarily the fact in an age when
human relationships, from the least
tc the largest, are so closely inter
kait as now. Washington, for all prac-
tical purpose, is nearer to Paris and
London than it was to New York or
Charleston when the. first United
States congress convened. The steam
ship, the Mfplane, the sasHtarine tel
egraph, the ethereal wireless" grid
ing the globe, the printing press from
which STRAINS a manifold, literature
read in allaands under the sun-these
h re draw the ends Of the earth to-
gcsheg andslns de it literally true that,
z 3 51s3a. n commonwealth, no nation
cal live tditself alone.
In its deeper consequences the war
that shook Europe tosfafl foundations
AID left her in sore confusion could
never have been escaped by us, even
If had fe held aloof from the con-
flict. The currents of communication
ri influence were too numerous, too
constant, too subtle and potent for
us to have remained unaffected. We
arc drawn irresistably into the worlds
economic problems today, and we al
ways shall be; not its economic prob
lens alone, but its larger human prob
lens as well; we can no more keep
them out of our common life than we
could push back the tides from our
shores. Statesmen who do not recog-
nize this fact are but trif1ing at their
task. Not one of the major questions
touching American commerce or in
dustry or labor or national policy can
be comprehended, much less answer
ed, unless it be viewed in the light
of world conditions. Hence the eyre
gious folly, as we'll as danger of franz
ing tariff that ignores what has befal-
len in Europe and Americas vastly
changed relations. Hence the grave
hazards in any course which does not
take account of those multitudes over
seas with whom we are linked in trade |
and in ten thousand common human |
wants.
