plnuded by dolugHtog from till parts
of the country.
America will lmvo forg'olton her
traditions, said thu president, if slm
lights merely for herself, llo added
that the United State, must not fight
under coitdiliona stiuh na would show
it hud forgotten traditions. When
America ceases to hu unselfish, ho
said, it will cease to ho Amsileu.
To Save Mankind
The president declared tho nation
was formed for thu purposo of Hurv
uig thu rest of tiiuiikind, na niuoli tin
itself, mid to afford asylum to rll
men. Those trnditions, ho ndded,
must ho continued. "Tradition H u
haudsomo thing in Ihe proportion to

president. "Hut wo must never fell
below that tradition. The birth of this
nation wna significant huuiuiHo no
other nation was ever born in ihe

"If wo full nvvRv from tho tradi

Unselfish Traditions
"America will have forgotten her
traditions whenever iiihih any oc
casion she fights merely for herself
under such circumstance aa will
show that she had forgotten to fight
for all mankind. And the only ex
cuse that America can over lmvo for
the assertion of her physical forvn
is that she asserts it in behalf of
humanity.
"What a 'splendid tiling it U to
