But if we fre to maintain our posi- tlon of understanding and good will with the nations abroad, we must continue to maintaln the same senti- ments at home. We are situated dif- ferently in this respect from any oth country. All the other great powers have a comparatively homogeneou population, elose kindred In race and blood and &peech, and commonly little divided in religious heiiefs. Our great Nation Is made up of the strong and virtle ploneering stock of nearly all the countries of the world. We have a variety of race and language and religious belief. If any of these dif- ferent peoples fall into disfavor among’ us, there comes a quick reaction against the rest of us from the rela- tives and friends in their place of origin which affects the public senti- ‘ment of that country, even though it may not be actually expressed in the official action of their government.

He argued further in this connection by saving that it the people prosper in their | business, they will be less likely to resort to the irritating methods of competition in foreign trade, out of which arise mutual misunderstandings and animosjties. Being amply sup- plied with their own resources, they will not be so Inclined to cast covetous eves toward the resources of other na- tions, he said.

Generous Settlements U. S. Policy. The President explained that it was in accordance with these principles that the United States has made | generous settlements of our foreign debts. He believes in the old saying, “Live and let live.” He defended the terms of our debt settlements by saving that it was wise to extend the payments over a long period of years, with a very low rate of interest, to relieve foreign peoples of the burden t economic pressure.beyond thelr capacity to bear. “Our National Treasury is not in the banking business,” the President said In further defense of his debt policy. “We did not make these Joans as a banking enterprise.
