FRIDAY, FEB. 18, ltl»
THE BREVAW NEWS, BREVARD, N. C..
when they saw men in khaki coming
•cross thi sea in the spirit of crusad
ers. mnd they found that these were
sinmge men, reckless of danger not
(Mily, hut reckless because they seem
ed to see something, that made that
danger worth while. Men have te»
tlfled to me in Europe that our men
were possessed by something that
they eoiild only <^ill a religious fer
vor. They were not like any of the
other soldiers. They had a vision,
they had a dream, and, fighting in the
dr^m .they turned the whole tide of
battle and it never came back.
Tribute of a Humorist.
One of our American Humorists
meeting the criticism that American
soldiers were not trained long enough,
said:
“It takes only half as lon^ to train
«n American soldier as any other, be
cause you only have to train him one
■way. and he did only go one way.
and lie nover came back until he could
do It when ho pleased.”
And now do you realize that this
confidence, we have established
tliroughoi’t the world imposes a bur
den upoTi us—if you choose to call
it a fcuril'^n. It is one of those bur
dens wlUch any nation onsht to be
proud to onrry. Any man who resists
the present tides that run in the
world will find himf?elf thrown upon
a '•.hore po high and barren that it
•will seem as if he had been separated
from his humnn kind forever.

All Pocplcs Buoyed Up.
And now tliese ideals l ave urcT.Tlit
this new :n;''^ic. t’lat all f.ie people
of Europe are buoyed up and conf:
dent in the spirit of l;op“. heeau'c
they believe tliat we are at the eA'e
of a new a,:^e in the world when na
tions v/ill undrstand .one iinotlior.
W’hcn nations will support one anct’i-
«r in every just cause, when nation?
will ur.ito every moral and every phy-
atrci’f^th to see that the right
jall prevail.
fi Am r:ca vrere at this .lunctnre to
fill the world, what would (;onie of
’!;? I do not mean any disrespect to
any other great people when I say
*;hat America is the hope of the world,
and if she does not ju'^tify th.at hope
the results r.r? unthin]: ;hle. Men %vill
be thr>'wn b:uk upon the liitterness
of dis:ipi):)iatnient no4 only, but thr’
bitterness of dertpnir. All
will 1)5^ set up a.'? hostile camp.s

breasts, knowir.fj th"t they have fi i
od—for they were hidden not to co.ii!'
home from there until they did so:ne-
thinj? more than sign a treaty ci
peace.
Suppose Arve si^n the treaty of peace
and thut it is the most satisfactory
treaty of peace that the confusing: ele
ments of tho modem world will af-
f<jrd and f;o home and think about our
labors; w’e will know^ that we have
left written upon the historic table at
Versailles, upon which Vergeness and
Benjamin Franklin wrote their names,
nothing but a modern scrap of paper.
No nations united to defend, no great
forces combined to make it good, no
asisurance siven to the downtrodden
and fearful people of the w'orld that
they shall he safe. Any man who
thinks that America will take part
in giving the world any such rebuff
and disappointment as that does not
know America.
Challenge to Critics.
I invite him to test tho sentiments
of the nation. We set this up to make
men free, and we did not confine our
conception and purpose to America,
and now we will make men free. If
we did not do that, the fame of Amer
ica would he .£^one and all her powers
would be dissipated. She then w^ould
have to keep her power for those nar
row, selfish, provincial purposes which
seem so dear to some minds that have
no sweep beyond the nearest horizon.
I should welcome no sweeter chal
lenge than that. I have fighting blood
in me and it is sometimes a delight
to let it have scope, but if it is a
challentre on this occasion it will be
an indulgence. Think of the picture,
think of the utt^r hlackn^'r'.s that
would fall on the world—America has
failed. America r.i-de a little os
at generosity and then withdrew^.
America said: “We are your friends.”
hut it was only for today, not for to
morrow. America said; “Hero is our
power to vindicate right” and then
the next day said: “Let right take
«are of itself and we will take care
of ourselves.” America said: “We set
up a light to lead men along the paths
of liberty but we have lowered it, it is
intended only to light our own path.”
We f.et up a great deal of liberty,
•and then we said: “Liberty is a thing
that you must win for yourself, do not
call upon us.” Anrt think of the
world that we would le?ve. Do you
realize how many now nations are go
ing'to be set up in the presence of old
and powei-ful nations in Europe and
left there, if left hy us, without a dis-
intert-slod friend?
Whst of the Helplesa?
Do ,vou believe in the Polish causo
as I do? Are you going to set up Po>
land, immature, inexperienced, as yet
UHorganized, and leave her. with a
circle of'armies around her? Do you
believe in the aspiration of tlie
Czecho-Stovaks and the JUgo-Slavs as
I do? Do you toow how many pow
ers would be quick to pounce upon
them if there were not the guarantees
of the world behind their liberty?
Have you thought of the suffering
of Armenia? You poured out your
money to help succor the Armenians
after they suffered; now set your
strength so that they shall never suf
fer again.
The arrangements of the present
peace cannot stand a generation un
less they are guaranteed by the unit
ed forces of the civilized world. And
if we do not guarantee them, cannot
you see the picture? Your hearts
have instructed you where the bur
den of this war fell. It did not fall
upon the national treasuries, it did
not fall upon the instruments of ad
ministration. it did not fall upon the
resources of t!|e nations. It fell upon
the victims’ homes everywhere,
where women were toiling in hope
that their men w^ould come back.
No Doubt of Verdict?
When I think of the homes upon
which dull despair would settle where
this great hope is disappointed, I
should wish for my part never to have
had America play any part w'hatever
in this attempt to emancipate the
world. But I talk as if there were
any questions. I have no more doubt
of the verdict of America in this mat
ter than I have of the blood that is in
me.
And so. my fellow citizens, I have
come hack to report progress and I
do not believe the progress is going
to stop short of the goal. The nations
of the world have set their heads now
to do a great thing, and they are not
going to slacken their purpose. And
when I speak of the nations of the
world. I do not speak of the govern
ments of the w^orld. I speak of the
peoples who constitute the nations of
the world. They are in the saddle and
they are going to see to it that if their
present governments do not do their
will, some other governments shall.
And the secret is out and the present
governments know it.
There is a great deal of harmony
to be got out of common knowled2;e.
There is a gr; at deal of sympathy to
be get cut cC living in the same at
mosphere, and except for the differ
ences of languages, which puzzled my
American ear very sadly. I could have
believed I was at home in France or
in Italy or in England when I was on
the streets, when I was in the pres
ence of the crowds, when I was in
great halls where men were gathered
together, irrespective of class. I did
not feel quite as much at home as I
do here, but I felt that now, at any
rate, after this storm of war had
cleared the air, men were seeing eye
to eye everywhere and these were the
kind of folks who would understa-nd
w'hat the kind of folks at home would
nnderstiind and that they were think
ing the same things.
Manners Very Delightful.
I feel about you as I am reminded
of a story of that excellent witness
nr'l cood artist. Oliver Herford, who
c:io day, sitting at luncheon at his
club, was slapped vigorously on the
back by a man whom he did not know
very well. He said: “Oliver, old boy,
how are you?” He looked at him
rather coldly. He said: “I don’t
know your name. I don’t know your
face, but your manners are very fa
miliar.” and I must say that your
manners are very familiar, and let
mo add very delightful.
It is a great comfort for one thing,
to realize that you all understand the
languapiP I am speaking. A friend of
mine said that to talk through an in
terpreter wr-s like witnessing the com
pound fracture of an idea. But the
beauty of it is that, whatever the im
pediments of the channel of commun
ication. the idea is the same; that
it gets registered, and it gets regis
tered in responsive hearts and recep
tive purposes.
I have come back for a strenuous
attempt to transact business for a lit
tle while in America, but I have real
ly come b?ck to say to you, in all
soberness and honesty, that I have
been trying my best to speak your
thoughts.
W^hen I sample myself, I think I
find that I am a typical American,
and if I rample deep enough, and get
down to what is probably the true
stuff of a man, then I have hope that
it is part of the stuff that is like the
other fellow's at home.
And, therefore, prcbing deep in my
heart and trying to see the things
that are right without regard to the
things that mav ho dehated as expedi
ent. I feol ■'h-t I int'.;rorrt:ng the
purpf'*',? thought of Anerica;
and in loving America I find I l.'ive
^"i^pd the gre.'^t majority of my !el-
lo'.viiien throughout the world.
DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE
ARE “LORDS OF THE WORLD”
London.—Under the heading “The
Lords of the World” The Frankfurter
!5eitung publishes a rather lively
sketch of the peace dele.^jates in Paris.
It wonders whether any of them will
turn out to be a ^letternich, a Talley
rand, a Hardenberg, a Nesselrode, or
a Castlereagh, but thinks that none
of them at present can be compared
with Bismarck, Disraeli or Gortscha-
koff. It is added;
Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd
George are already characters with
sharply and firmly outlined features.
What they have done for their coun
tries tho war raises them high above
mid.IK) s'„:iture. But their greatness
as statesmen has still to undergo th»
tests of fire at the greefti table.
