Sparks from Eu- rope’s conflagration have blazed in our own skies, echoes of her strife have sounded at our very door: fire still burns, that struggle still ‘con- tinues, but thus far the United Stat has held the flame at bay; thus far it has saved its people from participa- tion in the conflict. “What the people of the United States must determine through thei suffrage, is whether the course the ‘country has pursued through this | ‘crucial period is to be continued; ! whether the principles that have been | asserted as our national policy be endorsed or withdrawn. “This is the paramount i lesser issue must cloud it, has heen is shall | ue no No un- “yelated problems must confuse it.” In declaring that the policy of neu- ( trality is as American as the Amer- ican flag, Mr. Glynn asserted that: “The first T dent of the TUnited | States was the first man to pronounce neutrality a rule of international con- duct. “In April, 1793, Washington de- clared the doctrine; and within a month, John Jay, Chief Justice of the Supreme- Court of the United States, in an epoch-making decision from the bench whose realization would ensure {and plen universal and perpetual peace, wrote the principle into the law of this land. The Declaration of Independence had “foretold it by declaring ‘the rest mankind enemies in war, in friends;’ the constitution recogn It: but the first president of the Unit- ed States by proclamation Chief Justice by interpretation gave it vitality and power. “The president of the United States stands today where stood the men - Goimemsad) we know | gqn was right, crisis | great of | an profit, | for a sign from the present leaders of al advan- | the republican party to show that they follow where Hamilton led. Where now before the peo- | Hamilton counseled moderation they denounce it. Where Hamilton thought only of country they think only of self. Where Hamilton placed patriot- ism above partisanship they placed partisanship above patriotism. How of | then do they dare to speak for the | i detachment body of American citizens who the rank and file of the repub- party? Do these leaders be- | lieve that their republicanism is a | better republicanism than Hamilton’ | their Americanism a purer American- |ism than that of Washington? “If Washington was right, if Jeffer- if Hamilton was right, right, then the presi- I dent of the United States is right to- day; if the republican leaders are form | lican if Lincoln wa | right then Lincoln“was wrong and Jef- That | | { the first | pra ferson was wrong and Hamilton was wrong and Washington was wrong.” The justification of our policy of neutrality is expressed by Mr. Glynn in these words: Before this declaration war was a world-war; since this de- claration nearly every war has been a local war. Before this declaration war was a whirlpool, ever-increasing in area and in its whirl dragging every { down the nations or the earth; since this declaration war has become a sea of touble upon which nations em- bark only from self-will, from self-in- terest or the necessity of geographical position, of financial obligation or po- litical alliance. “Neutrality is the policy which has | kept us at peace while Europe has | been driving the nails of war through the hands and feet of a erucified hu- manity. “The praises of this policy are not written in the ruins of American homes, not in the wreck of American industries, not in the mourning of American families; they are found in the myriad evidences of prosperity v that make this a content- ed land. From every whirling spindle in America, from every factory wheel that turns, from every growing thing of { that breathes its prayer of plenty to peace | the zed | from every crowded mart, from every skies, from every quiet school, peaceful home goes up a song of e, a paean of thanksgiving to hymn a nation’s tribute, to the state- manship that has brought these things to pass.” The issue raised by democracy’s shown of | long | rights | pur- | { opponents of the vigor with which our neutrality has been enforced is dealt with by the records of history: “When Grant was president, during the war between Spain and the Span- ish West Indies, a Spanish gunboat seized the vessel ‘Virginus' flying the American flag and a Spanish mandant in cold blood shot tain of the ‘Virginus, thirty-six of the crew and sixteen of the passen- ers. | “But war.
