Senator Lodue Addresses Harvard
Graduates On World Peace and
War Lesons Have Visions But
Don't Be Visionary Best Hooejor
Peace Lies in Defeat of Germans.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. June 19.
Lenfons for America in Gonnany's
military aggression and in-Russia's
Bolshevist rule were emphasized in
an address here today by United
States Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts, chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, at the com
mencement exercises ot Harvard uni
versity. '
Destruction of Germany's war
power. Senator Lodge declared, now
Is the best guarantee of world peace.
Misery wrought by Bolshevism in
Russia, be asserted, proves that re
form must come slowly, by evolution
and that present conditions may be
endangered "by vainly striving for a
glittering Impossibility."
In discussing peace efforts and
Germany's course, .Mr. Lodge said:
"At the close of the last century
there was a quite general belief that
serious wars would not come again.
Some doubted and for their skepti
cism were called 'jingoes,'- 'war lov
ers' and 'pessimists.'
"But almost everyone felt sure
that If war should again break upon
us Its -horrors would be reduced to
the lowest point, and that the conven
tions ot Geneva and The Hague, the
sufferings and cruelties of past wars
would be largely eliminated.
Scientific Barbarism
"Suddenly the great war . came.
Germany esteemed by all as a highly
civilized nation, entered deliberately
upon a course of savage cruelty
worse than any ever imagined. The
world had known barbarism before,
but never had anything fallen upon
men comparable to the scientific,
wholesale atrocities carried on by
Germany by which not merely indi
viduals, but entire communities were
subjected to the most hideous suf
ferings and the most utter ruin
which highly-trained minds entirely
destitute of humanity could devise.
"As for treaties and laws they
went in the fierce flame of war as
quickly as the dry leaves of autumn
when a spark falls among them.
"The beautiful scheme of making
mankind suddenly virtuous by a stat-
uto or a written convention was
once more exhibited In all Its weak
nets. '
"It Is a melancholy reflection that
the best assurances of tho future
peace of the world lies In the de
struction of the German war power,
which is worth all it costs.
"Once again comes the harsh les
son that all the advances ot men' in
morals and in altruism, in charity
and gentler manners and puror laws,
all that really remain with ns, come
slowly, never in a moment."
Visions nnd Visionary
"I fervently hope," he said to the
Harvard graduates, "that you will
have visions and dream dreams, but
do not forget that having visions Is
one thing, while being a visionary,
especially a .visionary whose visions
and ideals are stage-properties, is
quite another." "
Russian Bolshevism, Mr. Lodge"
said in conclusion, presents a warn
Ing to America in Its "awful results
ot a scheme which its authors pre
tended and their dupes believed
would make all .men happy In a mo
ment."
"In letters ot fire," said Mr. Lodge
"this Russian scene says to us 'this
way lies ruins.'
"Does the United States tell us
trumpet-tongued that the - country
for which this younger generation
has died is still the best hope for
mankind and that it must be pre
served as their fathers preserved and
saved it in the days that are gone?
Be Americans first, Americans last
and Americans always. From that
firm foundation you can march on.
Abandon it and chaos will come as
when the civilization of Rome crash
ed down In Irremediable ruin."
