Mr.. President, there lives on 8 II.
In this city. a man who is today
a private citizen. For a time. he
was worshiped by nearly everyone
outside his own country. and A
prophet In not without honor save
in his own country Crippled in
this war struggle. no pity shown for
him here. no pity ever uttered on
the other side of the chamber, that
l remember. not even one word
from any body. and yet the senator
from Massachusetts, today can point
with pride TO but one thing-and
that was not the policy Of the sena-
tor from Massachusetts. nor the pol
icy OF this chamber on either side,
but the policy OF Woodrow wilson
that was. that America should be
represented In a great congress OF
the nations OF the world and should
say thru her chief executives lips:
We want nothing. not an acre Of
land. not a dollar OF PREPARATION. nor
Indemnity: we are satisfied provided
only we can put an end 10 war and
