, "Today tho sons and daughters of-
jother lands ure placing laurels on
(American graves, and our Memorial
day has become an international occa
'sion, it calls up opportunity for many
llands and countries to help In its ob
servance; equally to them and to us,
lit Is n reminder of our common troth
jto civilization, humanity and everlnst
ilng Justice.
"I counsel no selfishness, no llttlo
Americanism, no mere parochialism,
when I tirgo (hat our first duty is to
jour oy;ij and that In tho measure of
Ut performance wo will Had tho true
'gauge of our capacity to bo helpful to
others.
"Freedom Is not to bo crowded -pon
those who will not linvo It, but tho
privilege was opened wldo to tho van
quished communities which sought
to tako It from others. Wo do not
lyct know whether tho defeated and
(unwilling bcnellclnrlcs will be nblo to
grasp tlds boon. Wo cannot tell
Jwhethor they will pay tho price re
quired to maintain tho freedom to
which the door has been opened. Wo
do know that our sons and brothers
afforded them tho opportunity.
"Wo found ourselves as a people,
occupying a place of vast responsibil
ity to tho world. It required sub
mergence of selfish ends. Hut I am
not counseling surrendered lndopeiid
ence. Our maintained freedom is tho
'only source of our might. Only tho
'American consclenco mny command

"With tho return of peace, Indus
trial dlsclpllno was thrown asldo not
only In this country, but In overy

down of moralp accompanied It and
wo find ourselves halting when we
ought to move forward. Wo need a
patriotism resoluto in peace bb well
'as n patriotism aflame In war.
' . "Only a fow days ago I saw moro
than 0,000 llug-druped colllns, tenanted
with their heroic dead. Theirs was
mute eloquence In protesting wars,
theirs was thoi supremo appeal lor
war'fti avoidance Tho way to pre-
nervo honor without mnterlal wants
and the costlier human sacrllleo would
bo tho surpassing memorial tribute:
Wo may not bestow It today, but we
may llttlngly resolvo that tho Inlluenco'
and example of our America shall
point tho way to such lofty achieve-'
rucnt."

In uudlmmed memory of the sacrifices
that America has made for Individual
