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shall be endorsed or withdrawn.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.
