French strength? 1t is present
throughout the entire world in our
most distant possessions, where, as
minister of colonies IS years ago, I
had already felt the most ardent
loyalty vibrate. 1t is measured by
this immense empire of which the in

recently to measure again myself the
affectionate attachment and total
devotion to the motherland.

as in any century of our history.
1t is this constant seeking for
human dignity in liberty and in
order: it is fraternity of all beliefs
and all thoughts; it is spontaneous
union of all people who seek truth
and justice in their political quar-
rels, but who have no need of being
reconciled to be united as soon as
the hour of peril sounds.
French strength? 1t is, finally, the

New Definitions Are Offered
TO Cover Old Practices.
In the present disorders of the
world new definitions of life are
proposed to anguished peoples to
cover the Oldest practices and the
Oldest eXpedients.
Servitude is called liberty. SUBJ
mission is called voluntary adhesion
Despair is called pride in living
Destruction of human values is
called progress. The desire to make
safety for men is pretended when
they are being led to ruin.
Let me be permitted to tell you
In the name of France what is the
real service for the fatherland and
humanity. It is never to sacrifice
men in vain. 1t is never to crush
them under servitude of pride or
force. 1t is to permit them under
the safeguard of the fatherland to
lives according to their desire. to
believe according to their hearts, to
think according to their minds, and
to act according to their consciences.
1t is because we believe that we
shall never agree that the relations
of nation to nation are to be ruled
only by force. What rules these
relations for us French is, first.

when they disappear and violence

great serenity, because she knows
that negotiations could only justify
