It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all man kind, was here given plan and real ity. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the Inspir ing associations of that noble death ' which is only a glorious consumma tion. From this green hillside wo also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. Cos Taken From Washington It Is significant significant of their 'own character and purpose and on the influences they were setting afoot that Washington and his associates, like the barons at Run nymede, spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people. It- haa been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, but for all mankind. They were thinking, not of themselves and of the material interests which centered in the little groups of land holders and merchants and men of affairs with whom they were ac customed to act in Virginia and the colonies to tha north and south of here, but of a people who wishes to be done with classes and special Interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They entertained no private purpose, de sired no peculiar privilege. They were consciously planning that men of every class should be free and America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. ' And we take our cue from them do we not? We intend -what they intended. We, here In America, believe our participation in this present war to be only the fruitage, of what they planted. : World Fighting for liberty Our case differs from theirs only in this that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America se cure, but the liberties of every other people as welL We are happy in the thought that we are permitted to do what they would have done .had they beep In our place. There must now be settled once for all what was settled for America in the great age upon whose inspiration we draw to day. This is surely a fitting place from which calmly to look out upon 3 Days Beginning Today LIBERTY NEWS REVIEW Br iMJf &y ' J V r- r i - ''" xt l 1 " v 9 y - 'L p" ' K ;y l ! .5 .fi.r m l,., f wi - K 2 . aa- k . x k. i run to the Tacoma races, lined p our task, that we may fortify our spirits for its accomplishment. And' this Is the appropriate place from, which to avow, alike to the friends who look, and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be associated In action, the faith and purpose with which we 'all act. This then Is our conception of the great struggle in which we are en- , gaged. The' plot 4a written plain , upon every scene' and every act of ; the supreme tragedy. On the one ! hand stand the peoples of the world not only the peoples actually en- f gaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act, peoples of many races and in every part of the world the people of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the moment un organized and helpless. Opposed to them, masters of many armies, stand an isolated, friendless group of gov ernments who speak no common pur pose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands. The gov ernments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sov ereign lords, making every choice for them and disposing of their lives and fortunes as they will, as well as ot the lives and fortunes of every peo ple who fall under their power gov ernments clothed witn tne strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that is auogeiner anen and hostile to their own. The past and the present are in deadly grap ple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. Settlement 3lst Be nnai Thare can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There must b no compromise. No half-way de cision would be tolerated. No half way decision is conceivable. These are the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and which must be conceaea mera Be fore there can be peace: 1. The destruction of very arbi trary power anywhere that can sep arately, secretly and of Us single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at the least its reduction to virtual Impotence. 2. The settlement of every ques tion, whether of . territory, of sov ereignty, of economic arrangement or of political relationship, upon th basis of the free acceptance of that! settlement by the people immedl- ately concerned, and not upon the v basis of the material interests or ad vantage of another nation or peo ple which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own . Interior influence or mastery. 3. The consent of all nations to be governed In their conduct toward each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for theom mon law of civilised society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with -one another; to that end all prom lsea and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or con spiracies hatched, no selfish Injuries wrought with Impunity, and a mu tual trust established upon the hand Some foundation of a mutual re spect for right 4 The establishment of an organ isation of peace which shall make it certain that the combined power ef free nations will check every Inva sion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opin ion to which all must submit and by which every international readjust ment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. These great objects can be cut into a single sentence. What we seek Is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sus tained by the organised opinion of mankind. These great ends cannot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity.- They can be realised only by the determination of what the thinking people of the world desire, with their longing , hope for justice and for social free- (. dom and opportunity. - i I can fancy that the air of this place carries the accents of such principles with a peculiar kindness. Here were started forces which the great nation against which, thev were primarily directed at first re- ' garded as a revolt against Its right ful Authority but which It has long since seen to have been a step in the liberation of Its own people as well aa the people of the United States, and I stand here now to peak proudly and with confident hope of the spread of this revolt, this liberation, to the great stage of the world itself. The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of forces which, once roused, can never be crushed to . earth again for they have at s their heart an inspiration and a purpose ..which are deathless and ot the very tuff of triumph, '.,.. , Fred Bourne to Speak : Oregon City.
