It is obvious that this vast country of ours is insufficiently unified, either in race, in ideas, or in concurrent action. We must always expect that different geo graphical sections, each with its own preoccupations, different economic and social classes, each with its own material interests to maintain, will have divergent views which must be adjusted through a series of compro mises. Compromise must inevitably be the method of any self-governing democracy. The average Californian seems to be afraid of a Japanese inva sion; the average manufacturer and capitalist of the Atlantic sea-board seems to be afraid of bombardments by battleships from Europe; the aver age white citizen of Mississippi is afraid of political equality with the average black citizen. My summer neighbors in the Green mountains of Vermont have never lost a night's sleep .or a day's work over the negro peril or the Oriental peril or the bom bardment peril. Yet their representa tives in congress share with Califor nians and Mississipplans and New Yorkers the responsibility of provi sion for national defense and national progress. The adjustment of local in terests to general interests gets it self accomplished, more or less per fectly. But some of the issues raised here by the war which has desolated Eu rope demand a still more unified and coherent Americanism. It is evident that we are not yet clear about our own national purpose and policy, not yet ready for areal solidarity of ac tion. And if the United States, after 140 years of welding. Is not yet, in the truest sense, united, what shall be said of the tragic Incoherence of those mother states of Europe from which all of us have sprung? Is there anyone so blind, after these two years of international agony, as not to see that world organization has be come necessary; a world court and a world legislature and some form of world executive to see that interna- tional law and international judicial decisions shall be respected and obey ed? I am not arguing at this moment for the specific recommendations of the League to Enforce Peace in wheih so many of us are enlisted. I am simply reminding you that any Amer ican program for the perpetuation and the popularization of that war system which has brought Europe Into disastrous collapse raises far deeper issues than are involved in our own national security. We still have an opportunity, such as was never grant ed to any nation, to help lift the bur den of war from the shoulders of men and the hearts of women every where. If there is reason tor perplexity, therefore, as you face the! confused is sues of the present hour, there is also reason for rejoicing. Beneath the surface of passionate and selfish and cynical discussion, there., are streams of right tendency, currents of humanized thoughts and feelings. You must penetrate to them, put your selves into wholesome relations with them. If you are shocked at the con tradictions, the grotesque inequalities of the human lot, then do something to level and adjust those inequalities.
