was last fall. November 10, 1928, tn"
eve Of Armistice day, he spoke by radio
to the American people, defending his
peace policy and saying that the Amer
lean people had withdrawn into sui
len and selfish isolation which is deeply
ignoble because manifestlyi cowardly
and dishonorable"
Arlnistice day Mr.. Wilson briefly adj
dressed thousands from the front steps
of his home, concluding thus:
81 am not one of those that have the
least anxiety about the triumph of the
principles ] have stood for. have
seen fools resist Providence before and
/ have seen their destruction, as will
come upon these again utter destruc-
ton and contempt. That we shall pre-
vail is as sure as that God reigns
