He sald he knéw that in thelr hearts the people of the United Ctawes wanted to “keep the balance even. tice,”” he added. thiy world is character, and I belleve that character can be expressed by the acts of a nation. Thia s expressed by the attitude of the people. “A further foundation of peace is our internal attitude toward each other. We have been hospitable to all creeds and people. The peace of America depends upon the attitude of the different races and creeds whica make up the nation. I have been much perturbed over evidences of religlous feelings in this country. Live and let live is a homely expression, but it expresses what our attitude should be. “I ‘always accept an Invitation to a fight, but I hope I conduct my fight with Justice and fairness.’ ‘The president dealared that the neutral- ity of the United States has not been a merely formal matter, but that it has been a matter of conviction and from the heart. He said that in his efforts | for peace he had been consclous of rep- resenting the spirit of America and no | private conviction merely of his own. “America,’’ he acded, “has always stogd resolutely and ebsolutely for the'right | of every people to determine its own des- tiny and its own affairs.” The president illustrated the attitude | of the United States toward weaker na- tions by his Mexican policy He was given a formal vote of thanks by the clergymen for his efforts in be- half of peace.

The lowa senator char- acterized the sale of munitions abroad as a “cold-blooded money-making propo- sition.” An embargo was vigorousiy urged also by Senators Hitchcock, Clapp, Works, Ashurst, Lane, Martine and LaFollette, Other senators who spoke in favor of an embargo but thought the question of whether it might be a breach’ of neu- trality should first be thoroughly con- sidered by the foreign relations commit- tee, were Clarke of Arkansas, Clark of Wyoming, Smoot and Townsend of Stome. Senator Stone, chalrman of the foreign relations committee before which the embargo resolutions are pending, said he had opinions. on the merits of the issue, but thought this was not the time to discuss them. Senator Robinson was the only senstor who expressed -himself an actually opposed to an embargo.

O'Connor. If any colonels have escaped It is through modesty on their part in falling to Inform Senator Hitcheock that they would like to have the job. While Senator Hitcheock is as close as a clam over the Wharton succession, there are those who, enjoying the sena- torial sunshine, belleve that Colonei Charles B. Fanning is looked upon most favorably by the senior senator, who will make the appointment because it Is his of right. Colonel Hall has A bundle of strong let- ters enthusiastically endorsing him, but Senator Hitchcock ls playing for his own return to the senate and he does not want to make a mistake in the postmas- tership. Therefore, look out for Fanning or Senator Ed Howell.
