PRESIDENT SAYS
AMERICA WON'T

(Continued from Paga On.)
rled away by their sympathies that they
have ceased to think In terms of Ameri
can tradition and policies .
"I have heard that Kansas was not In
sympathy with any policy of national de
fense. I do not believe a word of It.
"Kansas Is not looking for trouble, but
has made trouble for those who Inter
fered with Its liberties.
Poller Mlrepreeed.
"If Kansas Is opposed or has been op
posed to the policy of preparedness for
national defense It has been only because
somebody has misrepresented that policy.
"What Is the Issuer Why. of course
there are men going about proposing a
great military establishment for Amer
ica, but you hare not beard anybody con
nected with tha administration that dad.
You hava not heard anybody In any re
sponsible altuation who could carry out
that plan, propose It. A singular thing
about this situation Is that tha loudest
voices have been irresponsible voices.
"It Is easy to talk and say what should
be done when you don't have to do It.
"All that anybody In authority haa
proposed is that the people of the nation
learn how to defend themselves.
Lara-er Arrnty Is Needed.
"We are not asking for a large Increase
In the army. It Is too small now for
the ordinary times of peace. It haa
been too small to patrol the Mexican
border properly, and I have been unable
to do several things I should have done
because of the small army.
"What we are asking is this that the
nation supply arms to tnose trained for
war.
"This Is not a militaristic policy. It
is. merely a policy of adequate national
defense. Anybody who says differently
cither does not know what he is talking
about or is purposely misrepresenting the
facts."
President Wilson said that the national
guard was unavailable for the nation
unless Its territory was Invaded. Just
then the crowd outside rushed the guard
and created a commotion In the hall. The
president paused and waited till Id died
down.
Wants Training; Camps.
"What we are proposing is what every
woman's heart and every man a heart as
well, should desire to have the people
not only willing but ready to fight If
necessary.
"Ought not we see to It that camps
of Instruction of sufficient numbers
should be founded, and men in sufficient
number trained?
"If you sat In Washington you would
know that some men are trying by both
direct and indirect ways to get the Cnlted
States into the war.
"If Kansas will not fight, who will?"
be asked. "She will fight for a principle
The only thing we are ever going to fight
for is human rights in one form or an
other. " '
"Let no man Interfere with the rights
of America, and let no man hold back
from , getting ready ' to defend those
rights." "

while this great contest continue In
Europe. I need not tell you what my at
titude toward that contest Is. I havt
tried to live up to the counsel which I
have given my fellow rttlten. not only
to be neutral In action, but also to be
neutral In the genuine attitude of my
thought and mind.
"America Is a composite nation. Tou
do not realise It quite so much In Kan
sas as It Is reallted In some other parts
of the union. So overwhelming a portion
of your population Is native born that
you naturally feel your first conscious
ness to be of America and things Amer-'
lean, but I Imagine thoso communities
and they are many'whlch contain very
largo bodies of men whose birthplace,
whose memories, whose family connec
tions are on the other side of the aea. In
places now swept by tha flames of war;
men for whom every mall brings new
of soma disaster that It may be has
touched those whom they lova or has
swept tha face of some countryside which
they remember In association with the
days of their youth. Their Intimate sym
pathies are with some of the places now
most affected by this titanic struggle.
Tou cannot wonder, I do not wonder, tMt
their affections are stirred and old
memories awakened and old pasMona re
kindled. Moat Good Americans.
The majority of them are steadfast
Americans, neverthelss. For. look what
happened to them, my fellow cttlien.
Tou and I were born in America; they
choose to be Americans. They deliber
ately came to America, beckoned hither
by some of the fairest promises and pros
pects ever offered to mankind. They were
told that thla was a land of liberty and
of opportunity, as It Is. They were told
that this was a land In which they could
throw off some of the restraint anl tram
mels under which they had chafed In the
older countries. They were told that this
was the place for th-l feet of young men
who had ambition and who wished un
trammeled hope to be their only leader
and of their own free and ' deliberate
choice they crossed the waters and Joined
their destinies with us. and the vast ma
jority of them have the passion of Amer
ican liberty In their hearts. Just as much
as you and I have. I do not want any
American to misunderstand the real sit
uation, and I believe that to be the real
situation.
'Soma men of foreign birth have tried
to tlr up trouble In America, but, gen
tlemen, some men of American birth have
tried to stir up trouble, too. If you were
to listen to the councils that are dinned
into my ears in the executive office in
Washington you would find that some of
the most Intemperate of them came from
the lips of men who had for generations
together been identified with America, but
who for the time being are so carried
away by the sweep ot their sympathies
that they have ceased to think In the
terms of American tradition and Ameri
can policy.
. Expresses No Jndament.
"I express no Judgment concerning any
matter with regard to the conduct of the
war. but the heart of America has bled
because of the condition of the people In
Belgium, and you know how we have
poured out our sympathy and our wealth
to assist In the relief of suffering In that
storm-swept land. America looks to all
quarters of the worM and sympathises
with mankind in its sufferings wherever
these sufferings may be displayed or un
dergone.
"I was told before I came here, and
T read in on of your paper this morn
ing that Kansas was not in sympathy
with my policy of preparedness for na
tional defense. I. do not believe a word
of It. I long ago learned to distinguish
between editorial opinion and popular
opinion. Moreover, having been addicted
to books, I happened to have read the
history of Kansas, and if there Is any
other place In the world fuller of fight
than Kansas I would line to hear of it;
any other place fuller of fight on the
right lines. Kansas Is not looking for
trouble, hut Kansas has made trouble
for everybody that interfered with Its
liberties or Its rights; and if I were
to pick out one place which was likely
to wince first and get hot first about
invasion of the essential principles of
American liberty, I certainly would look

been opposed to the policy of prepared
ness for national defense. It has been
only beeause somebody has misrepresented
that policy and they do not know what
It Is.
What la Issaet
"What is the issue. Why. of course
there are some men going about
proposing great military establishments
for America, but you have not beard
anybody connected with the administra
tion that did. Tou have not heard any
body In any responsible position who
could carry his plan out who did. Tha
singular thing about this situation Is
that the loudest volcea have been the
Irresponsible voices.
"What we are asking Is thla, that the
nation supply arms for those of the na
tion who are ready. If occasion should
arise, to com to the national defense,
and that it should do this without with
drawing them from their pursuits ot In
dustry and of peace. In order that
America should know that In the founda
tions from which she always draws her
strength there welled up the Inexhausti
ble resources of American manhood.
This la not a military policy: this is a
policy of adequate preparation for na
tional defense, and any man who repre
sents it in any other light must b either
Ignorant or consciously misrepresenting
tho facts.
Will Not lavado A ay Laad.
"America would hold any executive
back, would hold any congress back from
any action which had the least taint of
aggression upon tt W are not going
to Invade any nation's territory. We
are not going to covet any nation' pos
sessions. We are not going to Invite any
nation's rights.
"But suppose soma nation should In
vade our rights. What then? What
would Kansas think? What would Kan
sas do then? What would America,
speaking by the voice of Kanaas or any
other state In the union think and do
then?
"And I have come here to tell you that
the difficulties of our foreign policies,
the delicate questions of our foreign re
lationships, do not diminish either In
number or delicacy and difficulty, but
on the contrary, dally Increase in number
and In Intricacy and In danger, and I j

I did not deal with you In these matters
with the utmost candor and tell you
what it may be necessary to use the
force of the United State to do.
Mar Have Strike.
"For one thing it may be necessary to
use the force of the United States to
vindicate the right of American cltlxens
everywhere to enjoy the protection of
International law. There la nothing you
would be quicker to blame me for than
neglecting to safeguard the rights of
Americans, no matter where they might
be In the world. There are perfectly
clearly marked rights guaranteed by In
ternational law which Vvery American
is entitled to enjoy.
"Perhaps, not bolng as near the ports
as some other Americans, you do not
travel as much and you do not realise
the number of legitimate errands upon
which Americana travel, on errands of
commerce, or errands of relief, errands
of- business for the government, errands
of every sort which are making Amer
ica useful to the world. Americana do
not travel to disturb the world. They
travel to quicken tha processes of th
Interchange of life and of good in the
world, and their travel her and there
ought , not to b Impeded by a reckless
disregard of International obligation.
"There Is another thing that we ought
to safeguard, and that is our right to
sell what we produce in the open neutral
markets of the world. Where there is a
blockade w recognise the right to block
ade; where there are the ordinary re
straints created by a state of war w
ought to recognise those destra'nta, but
the world needs the wheat of the Kan
sas fields and the other great flowering
acres of the United states, and we have
a right to supply the rest 'of the. world
with the products of those fields. W
have a right to send food 'to peaceful
populations whereby the condition of
war make it possible to do so under the
pleasure with
ordinary rules of International law.
Tats I Word for Ship BUI.
"For severs! generations past we he
so neglected our merchant marine that
one of the difficulties we are struggling
aaalnst has nothing to do with Interna
tional questions. We have not the
American ships to send the goods In and
we have got to get them. I am going to
ask you to follow the fortunes of the so
called shipping bill In the present con
gress and make suggestions to your con
gressman as to the absolute necessity of
getting your wheat and your other prod
ucts out of th porta and Upon the high
reas where they can go. and shall go,
under the protection of the laws of tho
United States.
"We have not been selfish In this neu
tral attitude of ours. I resent the sug
gestion that we have been selfish. detr
Ing merely to make money. What would
happen If there were no great nation dis
engaged from this terrible struagle?
What would happen If every nation acre
consuming Us substance In war? What
would happen If no nation stood ready to
assist the world with its finances and to
supply it with Its food?
"We are more Indispensable now to the
nation at war by the maintenance of our
peace than we could possibly be to cither
sl 'e If we engaged in the war, and, the e
fore, there I a moral obligation laid upon
ua to keep out of thla war if possible.
But by the same token there Is a moral
obligation laid upon ua to keep free the
courses of our commerce and of our
finance, and I believe America stands
ready to vindicate those right.
"But there are rights higher than
either of those; higher than the rights ot
Individual Americans outside of America;
higher and greater than th rights ot
trade and commerce.
RUkli of Ma.ak.lad.
"I mean the rights of mankind. W
have made ourselves the guaranteers o
the rights of national sovereignty and of
popular sovereignty on this side of th
water In both continents in the western
hemisphere. You should be ashamed to
withdraw one inch from that handsome
guarantee.
