President Says That America Is Not
Going to Abide the Habitual or
Continual Neglect of Its Rights
Under International Law Either
Safety of Citizens or Commerce.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 2. Presi
dent Wilson told an amllonco of 3000
persons hero today that "America Is
not going l" nlildo tho habitual or
continual nogloct" of Itu rltjlTi -under
International law, either w(th res
jiect to tho safety of Its cltlaons or itH
foreign commerce. '
' For one thing, It inny ho neces
sary," tlitr proali'imt sultl with an
emphatic Risturef''to 1110 tho forcos
of the Fulled Stritos to vindicate the
right of Amorlcnn oltlzons ovory
whero to onjoy tho rights of Interna
tional law.
"Wo must also insist on tho right
of Americans to trade with the
world," he continued. "We shall res.
lot any blookado, hut the world
ncils tho products of the I'nltod
states and wo will Instit that tho
world gets them."
J'lOO till- Philippines
The Philippine, tint president said,
would ho (rood.
That Nan will com down," ho
declared, "when wo feel that tho Phil-
IpplnoH can tako ovor their own af
fairs nnd no longer require our pro
tection; nnd It will he more honored
in tho lowering than In tho rais
ins." What In tho Issue? Why, of
courso there aro men going nhout pro.
PohIiik a groat military establishment
for Amerlen, litit yflu liavo not-hoard
an) body connected with the adminis
tration that did. You hnvc not hoard
anybody In any responsible situation
who could carry out that plan, pro
pose It. A. singular thing about this
situation Is that the loudost voices
have been Irresponsible voice.
It Is easy to talk and say what
fchoiilij be done whou )ou don't have
to do it.
"All that anybody In authority hah
proposed Is that tho people of tho na
tion learn how to defend thomsolvos.
Army Too Small
"Wo are not naking for a largo In
crease In the army. It Is too small
now for tho ordinary times of pence.
It has beon too small to patrol tho
Mexican border properly and 1 have
been unable to do sevoral things I
should have done beoauso of the small
army.
"What we aro asking is this: That
the nation supply arm to those train
ed for war.
This Is not a tnllitarlstlc pojloy, it
is merely a poller of adequate na
tional defense. Anybody who says
differently olthor does not know what
he Is talking about or Is purposely
misrepresenting the faots."
"We aro not going to Invade an
nation's right," rfeVered the presi
dent, "but Buppose une other na
tion invades the United State? What
will the nation do? American d
not travel abroad to interfere with
the natural processes of the world.
Their traveling ought not to bo in-V-ifered
wlfh by reclflel disregard
of international law.
We must also luilst on the right
or Americans to trade with the world.
We shall respect any blockade but the
world needs the products of the Unit
ed sutfb and we ;-l insist that the
world net them "
