Shaking Plat and Pingar.
No man ahould draw a platol who
darea not aho.it The government that
ahakea Ita flat llrst nnd ita nuger after
ward falla Into contempt. Our diplo
macy baa loat Ita authority and Influ
ence because we have been brave hi
words and Irresolute In action. Men
may say thot the words of our diplo

ay that our tuuetlou waa Justified, bnt
no man can auy that both were wise
and creditable
1 have auld that this government lost
the moral forers of the work! by not
truly Interpreting the spirit of the
American dctnocracy.
The American democracy stands for
something more than beef and cotton
and grulu and manufactures; stands
for something that cannot be measured
by rates of exchange and does not rise
or fall with the balance of trade. The
American eople, Informed by their
wu experience that Is continued by
their observation of International life,
have come to ace that the independence
of nations, the liberty of their peoples.
Justice and humanity cannot be main
tained upon the complaisance, the good
nature, the kindly feeling of the strong
toward the weak; that real Independ
ence, real liberty, cannot rest upon suf
ferance; that peace and liberty can be
preserved ouly by the authority and
observance of rules of natiousl con
duct founded upon the principles of
Justice and humanity; ouly by the es
tablishment of law umong nations, re
sponsive to the enlightened public opin
ion of mankind. To them liberty
means not liberty for themaelvea alone,
but for all who are oppressed- Justice
means not Justice for themselves
alone, but a shield for all who are
weak aaratnut tho nggremlon of the
strong.
To this people tbe Invasion of Rel
glum brought n shock of amazement
nml horror. If the public opinion of the
world waa to remain idlent upon that.
aeulrnl upon that, then all talk about
peace and Justice and International law
and tbe rights of man, the progress of
humanity and the spread of liberty la
Idle patter, mere weak .sentimentality;
then opinion Is powerless and brute
orco nilea ond will rule the world. If
no difference la recognized between
right and wrong then there are no
moral standard. There come times In
tho Uvea of nntlona oa of men when to
treat wrong as If It were light la trea
fton to the right.
' Tha Wrong Dons to Belgium.
The American people were entitled
not merely to feel, but to spesk con
cerning the wrong done to Itelglum.
It waa not like Interference In tbe In
ternal affairs of Mexico or any other
nation, for thle woa an International
wrong. The law protecting rtolglnni
which waa violated waa our law and
the law ef every other civilized conn
try. That law was the protection of
our la-ace and oecnrlty. It was our
safeguard against the necessity of
maintaining great armament and
wasting our aubatanco In continual
readiness for wnr. Moreover, that law
was written Into u nolemii nnd formnl
convention, signed nnd ratified by Ger
many and nelglum nnd France and I h
I'nlted State In which those other
cotintrle ngrced with tl thst the lew
should bo observed.
There wu no ipiofttlon here of Inter
fering In Ihe quarrels of Kurope. We

tiie treatment of Belgium, neutral lie
i ween right and wrong, neutral I
I ween Jnstlce and Injustice, neutral l

government did tnoro than acquiesce,
for In the i' "t l.ualtimla note, with the
uueikn'i.ie horrors of tho conquest
f llelgliiin still fresh In our minds, on
the very day after the report of tbe
Bryce commission on Belgian atroci
ties. It wrote these words to the gov
ernment of Germany:
it. Ilin th human snd cnllahlsnsd
intuit hitherto sssumed by ths Imparlal
to i a. in government in mattsrs of Inter
national right un.l particularly with re
gard to th frsrdnm of Hi seas, having
laarni-d to reroanls th lUrnmi viws
and tin- (Urnian InKueneo In th rlM of
International obligation aa ulwaya engaawl
upon th alii of Juatlr and humanity, ate.
And so tbe government of the TTnltod
Htati . uppcired as approving the treat
mint of llelgluui It misrepresented
the people of the I'lltlcd Stales In that
acquiescence and apparent approval.
It waa not necessary that tbe (nltial
State should go to war In defense
of the violated law. A single official
expression by the government of the
I'nlted State, a alugle sentence deny
ing asaeut and recording disapproval
of what Germany did In llelgluui,
would have given to tbe people of
America that leadership to which thej
were entitled In their eiirnest groping
for tbe light. It would have ranged
behind American leadership tbe con
science and morality of the neutral
world.
It waa not to be. The American
government fulled to rise to the de
mand of the great occasion. Cone
were the old love of Justice, tbe old
Mission for liberty, the old sympathy
with the oppressed, the old Meals of
an America helping the world toward
a tiettcr future, and there remained In
the eyes of mankind ouly solicitude for
trade and profit and prosperity.
Shrank Prom the Truth.
The American gov eminent could not
really have approved tbe treatment ef
Belgium, but uuder u mistaken policy
It shrank from speaking the truth.
Such polkMe as I have described are
doubly dangeroua In their effect upon
foreign nation and In their effect at
home, ft la a matter of universal ex
perience that a weak and apprehensive
treatment of foreign affairs Invite eu
oroachuieuu upon rlghta and leads to
situations In which It Is difficult to
prevent war, while a firm and frank
Hillcy at tbe outset prevents difficult
lltuatlooa from artstag and tends moat
strongly to preserve peace. On the
other hand. If a government is to be
strong hi 1U diplomacy its own peo
ple must be ranged ia Ita support by
leadership of opinion In a national
cause worthy to awaken their patri
otism and devotion.
We have not been following the path
of peace. We have been blindly stum
bling along tbe road that continued
will lead to Inevitable war.
When our government failed to tell
tbe truth about Belgium It loat the
opportunity for leadership of the moral
sense of the American people and it
loat the power which a knowledge of
that leadership and a sympathetic re
sponse from the moral sense of the
world wonM have given to our diploma
cy. When our government felled to
make any provision whatever for de
fending Ita lights In case they ahould
be trampled upon It lost the power
which a belief In Ita readlneaa and will
to maintain Its rights would have giv
en to Ita diplomatic representations.
When our government gave notice to
fJerraany that It would destroy Amer
ican lives nnd American ships at Its
peril our words, which would have
been potent If sustained by adequate
reparation to moke thorn good and by
the prestige nnd authority of the moral
leadership of a great people In a great
cause, were treated with a contempt
which should have been foreseen, and
when mir government fulled to make
thoso words good Ito diplomacy wns
bnukrupt.
1'piui the record of performance
which I have tried to describe will the
American people say that the Demo
cratic party la entitled to be continued
In power?
The defect of the present adminis
tration nrlse from two distinct causes.

They may expect that their govern

see that preparation for defense must
have due relation to tbe possibilities
of attack; that under tbe conditions of
modern warfare much preparation
