! ton to the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
was the foundations first president.
Those attending the anniversary OBJ
servance included Mrs. Woodrow VILE
son, several members of the Roosevelt
cabinet, including Postmaster General
Farley, Attorney General Cummings
and Acting Secretary Of the Treasury
at the speakers table.
The President, in outlining his own
three points for q universal peace. said
he had told every nation in the world
something to this effect:
Il. Let every nation agree to elimi-
nate over short period OF years, and
by progressive steps, every weapon OF
ofense in its possession and to create
no additional weapons Of offense. This
does not guarantee q nation against
invasion unless you implement 1t with
permanent and non-mobile defenses;
and also with the right to assure it
self through international continuing
inspection that its neighbors are not
creating nor maintaining offensive
q. A simple declaration that no ma
tiOn will permit any Of It's armed forces
to cross its own borders into the terri
tory OF another nation. Such an act
act Of aggression and, as an act, there
fore. that would call for condemna-
ton by humanity.
Singles Out Offenders.
49, 1t is clear, Of course, that no such
general agreement for the elimination
Of aggression and of weapons Of Of
fensive warfare would be of any value
to the world unless every nation, with
out exception, entered into the agree
ment by solemn obligation. II then
such an agreement were signed by a
great majority Of the nations on the
definite condition that 1t would 60 into
effect only when signed by all the ma
tOnS 1t would be a comparatively easy
matter to determine which nations in
this enlightened time are willing to go
on record as belonging to the small
minority of mankind which still be-
lieves in the use of the sword for in
vasion of and attack upon their neigh
bors."
To President Wilson. Mr. Roosevelt
gave credit for the first enunciation of
"a definite statement that the United
States will never again seek one addl-
tional foot of territory by conquest.
Mr.. Roosevelt said, pointing out with
special reference to our Latin American
neighbors that material interests must
never be made superior to human
liberty. Nevertheless and largely as
result of the convulsion of the World
War and its after effects, the complete
fruition of that policy of unselfshnesS
has not in every case obtained.
1T therefore has seemed clear to me
as President that the time has come
to supplement and to implement the
declaration of President Wilson by the
further declaration that the definite
policy Of the United States from now
on is one opposed to armed interven-
ton"
