' A "A' i W-tlB. m IK ' ill HilPs Department Store KEYNOTE SPEECH (Continued From Page One) be a nation. Half a century ago Americans wore forced to determine whether this should continue to be a nation. Today the Republic fucea a third: crisis no less momentous than that of 1776 or that of 1860. Today Americans must again de termine whether their country shall preserve its national ideals, whether it shall have a national soul, whether it shall stand forth as a mighty and undivided force, whether-the United States for which Washington fought and for which Lincoln died shall hold its place among the notions. For two years the world has been afire; the civilization that we know has been torn by the mightiest struggle in its history. . Sparks from Europe's conflagration have blazed in our own skies, echoes of her strife have sounded at our very doors. That fire still burns, that struggle still continues, but thus far the United States has held the flame at bay; thus far it has saved its people from participation in the conflict. What the people of the United States must determine through their suffrage is whether the course the country has pursued through this crucial perod is to be continued; whethor the principles that have been asserted as our national policy shall be endorsed or withdrawn. This the paramount islsue. No lesser issue must cloud it, no un related problems must confuse it. In the submission of this issue to the electorate we, of this conven tion, hold these truths to be self evident to every student of America's history, to every friend of Amorica's institutions. First: That the United States iaT constrained by the traditions of its past, by the logic of its present and' by tho promise of its future to hold itself apart from the European war fare, to save its citizens from par uf ipation Jn the, conflict that now de vastates the nations across the seas. Second: That the United States in its relations with the European belligerents must continue tho policy that it has pursued since the begin ning of the war, ,the policy of strict neutrality in relation to every war ring nation, the policy which Thomas Jefferson defined 89 "rendering to all the soiriCcs and courtesies of friendship and praying for the rc CStaMiiihnicrtt or Ipeaco add right!' Thirds That savo whore the liber ties, tho territory or the substantial rights of the United States are in vaded and assaulted, it is the duty of this nation to avoid wan by every honorable means. Fourth: That it is the duty of the United States government to maintain the dignity and the honor of the American nation and in every situation to demand and secure from every belligerent the recognition of the neutral rights of its citizens. Fifth: That because the Presi dent of the United States has assert ed these principles and pursued these policies ti American people must sunDort hi- vith ardor and with enthusiasm in order thnt these principles and policies may be known to all the world, not as the opinion of an individual but as the doctrine and faith of a loyal and united na tion. The Policy of Neutrality Is. As American As the American Flag In emphasis of these self-evident propositions we assert thnt the policy of neutrality is as truly American as the American, flag. For 200 years neutrality was a theorv: America made it a fact . The first President of the United States wns the first man to pro nounce neutrality a rulo of inter national conduct. And todny in this hall, so thnt nil the world may hoar, we proclnim that this American policy of neu trality is the policy which the pres ent administration pursues with patriotic zeal and religious devo tion: while Europe s skies blaze red from fires of war, Europe's noil turn? red from blood of men, ku rort's eves see red from tears of mourning women and from sobs of tarvu children. The tien who sny this policy Is not American appeal to passion and to prejudice and ignore the facts of listory. Where the President Stands . To win thi. priceless right of neutrality this nation had to undergo a long and painful struggle. It took Washington with his allies and sword eight years to win recog nition of his country's .liberty; it took Washington and his successors eighty years of endless negotiation to win recognition of American neu trality. And this eighty years of struggle wove the doctrine of neu trality so Closely into the warp and woof of our national life that to tear it out now would unravel the very threads of our existence. Where is the American hardy enough to challenge a policy so firmly fixed in the nation's tradi tions? Is there among us any man bold enough to set his wisdom above that of Washington, his patriotism above that of Hamilton and his Americanism above that of Jeffer son ? Is there any American so blind to our past, so hostile to our future, that, departing from our policy of neutrality, he would hurl us head long into the maelstrom of the war across the sea? The President of the United States stands today where stood the men who made America and who saved America. He stands where John Adams stood, when he told King George that America was the land he loved and that peace was her grandeur and her welfare. He stands where General Grant stood when he Baid there never was a war that: could not have been settled better some other -way, and he has shown his willingness to try the ways of peace before he seeks the paths of war. He stands where George Wash ington stood when he prayed that this country would never unsheath the sword except in self-defense so 'cng as justice and our essential rights could be preserved without it.
