I admit that the sentiment for a world league is not as strong in this country, because few, comparatively, of our vast popu- lation ever saw even one battle field. Slight, in comparison with our population, were our losses. Other countries bathed in blood, starved and emaciated, their cities full of cripples armless, legless, sightless men are calling to us whose wounds were slight to help them to rescue themselves from national hatreds and jealousies which too many regard as elements of patri...otism. Shall we in the arrogance of our power and self-sufficiency turn a deaf ear to their entreaties?
HOW PURPOSES OF LEAGUE EFFECTUATED.
Mr. President, after contemplating these horrors of war, after placing in the balance on the one side whatever of cupidity and purely selfish considerations we may be possessed of, and on the other side our humanitarian impulses; after eliminating the 12439019542 10 hatreds we may have against one foreign nation and partiality for some other foreign nation ; after eliminating all political ad- vantages to be gained by playing upon race or hyphenated Ameri- can prejudices ; after concluding to forego tail twisting either for our own edification or the edification of others, after conclud- ing that this country has a higher and nobler destiny than mere material gains, higher and nobler aspirations than mere na- tional prowess, and having finally concluded that this, the greatest Nation of the earth in population, wealth, and resources has by virtue of her transcendent position incurred a moral responsibility toward the weaker and less favorably situated countries of the world and ought, therefore, to exercise her mighty influence and power for the preservation of peace, the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means, guided by right and justice ought to help save the people of the world from another such awful calamity as they have just passed through, we are brought face to face with this question : By what character of agreement between nations can we best secure this result?
