I have confidence that In our nnllttcnl battles of tho futuro w shall tight them on a higher plane than In the past. The Spanish war taught us tho lesson that thero Is a patriotism In tho nation sum dent for any time of nepd nn.l ihnt thr Is no portion of n political party that doe not have at heart the nation's welfare. There Is but one basis upon which peace can he built nnd thnt Is Justice. I havo not been able to II ml a detlnltlon of pa triotism that satisfies me.

It Is an en lightened selfishness which leads tho American to do for his country that which nti iccih in to nimseir goou in ino cna. What tho American neonle need today Is that form of patriotism that will lead them to study nnd understand tho prob lems of government nnd will give them the moral courage to do what they believe to bo right, no matter what tho consequences mny be.
