President Tells Senate (Continued from Page Ome.) thé exeeution of present plans of peace and reparation, they caw it jn.a new aspect before their work was finish- ed. The:- saw it as.the main object of the peace. as the only thing that could complete it or make ‘worth while. They = it as the hope of the werld, ard that hope they did not dare to disappoint. Shall we or Sny other res geamle hasitats tf ac Cept this great duty? Bt and break the heart of the world? Peace Stands And so the result of the conference ©f peace, so far as _is_con- cerhed, stands complete. Tne difeul- encountered were par- leys of peace underfaken—an no one doubted that our ‘desire was 1o see |- the treaty of peace formulated along the actual lfnes of those principles— fand desired” nothing else. We were | welcomed as disinterested friends. We were resorted to as arbiters in many a difficult matter., It was re iz~ i ed that our material aid dispensible in the days ‘brought hack te ‘their tion again abd commiun; the ground assisted to t more, and it was taken favor. ~ We were géi 72s the unai [ 7ole to pray; hat irole to play;, itnat the fine of &m helped with their expert in cach part of the ed settlements sought in eve Justi fy the high _&in them And that ignce, it A B 1 is the measure our opertunity and i of our duty in the days te come, in i which the new hope of the peoples of he world is to Be ful or disap- {pointed. The faef that is the { friend of the hations, whether they be rivals or associates, is no new fact; it is only the discovery of it by the ' res of the world that is new. America as a Werld Power. America may be said to have just | reached her majority as a world pow- | jer- Tt was almost exactly twenty-one Fears #=o that the resul's of the war ith Spair put us unexpectedly in sion of rich islands on the oth- ier side of the world and brought us into asseciation with other _govern- ments in the comtro! of the West In- dies. Tt was regarded as a sinister and ominous thing by the statesmen of more than ome European chancel- lery that we could have extended our power bavond the confines of our con- tinental dominions. - They were ac- customed to think of new neighbors as a new menace, of rivals as watch- it enemies. There were persons ameng us at home who iooked with deep disap- proval and avowed anxiety on such |extensions of our natiomal Authority over distant islands and, over peoples whom they feared we might exploit not serve and assist. But we have not exploited them. A Menace to No Other Nation. We have heen their friends and have sought to serve fhem. And our do- minion has been a menace 'to no other nation. We redeemed our henor to !the utmost in our dealings with Cuba. \Bhe is weak but absolutely free; and it is her trust in ue that makes her free. [Weak peoples everywhere stand reads o give us any authority among them that will assure them a frendly over- ight and direction. They know that there is no ground for fear in receiv- ing us as their mentors and guides. Our isolation was ended twenty vears iago; and now fear of us is ended also, lour counsel ad asoelation sought after 'and desired. There can be no question ©f our ceasing to he a wotld pewer. The only question is whether we can refuse the moral leadership that is of- fered us, whether we shall accept or Teject the confidence of the world. ) We Are No Longer fselated. J The war and the conference of peace fow sitting in Paris seem te- me to have answered that question. Our par- ticipation in the war established our position among the nations and noth- ing but our own mistaken action can slter it. It was not an accident or = matter of sudden choice that we are Do longer isolated ad devoted to a pol- dcy which has only our own interest and advantage for its object. It was our duty to go in if we were indeed the champions of lberty and of right. We answered to the eall of duty in a wway o spirited, so utterly without thought of what we spent of blood or treasure, so effective, o worthy of the admiration of true men everywhere. s0 wrought out of the stuff of all that ‘was heroic, that the whole world saw at last, in tHe flesh, in neble action, a great ideal asserted and vindicated, By a nation they had deemed material and now found to be compact of the spiritual forces tHat must free men of every nation from every uaworthy ‘®ondage. It is thus that a new role mnd a new respomsibilitv bave come to this great natfon that we honor and which we would 2l wish to lift to yet higher jevels of service and wchievement. Destiny Disclosed.
