Fellow Ciluent: The four years which have elapsed since last I stood in this place have been crowded with counsel and action of the most vital interest and consequence. Per haps no equal period in, our .history has been so fruitful of important re forms in our economic and industrial life or so full of significant changes in the spirit and purpose of our poli tical action. We have sought very thoughtfully to set our house in or der, correct the grosser errors and abuses of our industrial life, liberate and quicken the processes of our na tional gtnius.and energy and lift our politics to a broader view ot the peo ple's essential interests. It is a record of singular variety and singular dis tinction. But I shall not attempt to review it. It speaks for itself and will be of increasing influence as the years go by. This is not the time for et rospect. It is time, rather, to speak our thoughts, and purposes concern ing the present and the immediate tuture. 1 International Issues. "Although we have centered coun set and action with such unusual con ccntration anj success upon. the great problems of domestic legislation to which we addressed ourselves four years ago, other matters have more and more forced themselves upon our attention, matters lying outside our own life as a nation and over which we had not control, but which, despite our wish to keep free of tlicnt, have drawn us more and more irresistibly into their own current and influence. "It has 'been impossible to avoid them. They have affected the life of the whole world. Iheyyiave shaken men everywhere with a passion and an apprehension they never knew be fore, ' Currents in National Life. "It has been hard to preserve calm counsel while the thought. of our own people swayed this way and that un der, their influence. We are a conl pdsite and cosmopolitan people. We are of the blood of all the nations that are at war. The currents of our thoughts as well a the currents of our trade run quickly at all sea sons' back and forth between us and them. The war inevitably, set its mark from the first alike upon our minds, our industries, our coinjnerce, our politics and our social action. To be indifferent to it or independent of, it was out of the question. " "And yet all the while we have been conscious that we were not part of it We were conscious, despite many divisions, we hive drawn closer togctlrer. We have been deepfy wronged upon the seas, but we have not wished to wrong or injure in re turn; have trained throughout' the consciousness . of standing in some, sort apart,-intent upon an interest that transcended the immediate is sues of the war itself. As some of the injuries done us have be-ome in tolerable, we have still wade it clear that we wished nothing for ourselves, that we were not ready to demand for all mankind fair dealing, justice, the freedom to live and be at ease against organized wrong. 1 Firm in Armed Neutrality. "It is in this .spirit arid with this thought -that we have grown more and more aware, more and mote cer tain that the part we wished to play was the part of those who mean to vindicate and fortify peace.
