the demand has come. and wher-
ever it may have called the sons
of our proud land, it has always
been answered. Though we have
never been militant or war-lov-
ing people, there has been no
time when America did not rise to
the full measure of the require
ment which national honor and ma
tional safety imposed on them.
When national safety was the
cause, the response was always
insistant and decisive. When CIV
ilization summoned and our sons
were called to the other seas and
soils, We saw the same prompt
ness, the same zeal, the same de-
votion.
"On this Memorial day Of 1921.
we stand. I trust, very close to
peace achieved. to safety insured.
May it be our common aim and
purpose in the coming years, our
nations aim and policy shall be di-
rected to make certain that there
shall be the least need for further
sacrifices. greatest guarantees of
the stability, the permanence. and
the inspiring character of those in-
stitutions of liberty to which our
nation has been dedicated"
