MEMORIES . . . . . review
. My earliest memories are of war.
In my childhood practically every
grown man I knew was a veteran of
the Civil War. Our "hired man"
'on "the farm..was only one of many
who still wore their old Army overcoats
in Winter.
Ir^Kobody got anywhere in politics
who was not a veteran. The first
newspaper I can, remember reading,
was full of news about the war between
Russia and Turkey. The year
I was born Germany and^ prance
were, at war, and Germany won.
Therewas a civil war in Spain
when I was five years old. England
was carrying on almost continual
war gainst South African' tribesmen
and various Atlantic countries
when I was a boy.
The war of England against
Egypt and the conquest of the Sudan
are vivid memories. France
made war on China. China and
Japan were at war in the early 'AO's.
Tnpan defeated Russia in war in
if) 04.
The Boer War in which England
conquered the Dutch colonists in
South Africa, innumerable wars in
South America and in the Balkan
Peninsula, and our own constant
.varfare against the Indians of the
West all contributed to my belief
.hat was is a natural way for humans
tp act.
WAR . pressure
r**- ;> I J
?. Outside of our Indian battles my
own country was not engaged in
war until I was grown up and married.
Look at our national record
for the past forty years. We went
the loot. We had a long and pretty
' ' r -* V *'* ;f '< v" ~rhTi !* '
serious war with the Filipinos, who
objected to being sold down the
river. We sent armed forces into
several Latin-American countries to
collect debts owing to Americans.
When Mr. Taft was President
we were so close to war with Mexico
that we sent the largest army
we had ever assembled since 1865
to the Mexican border, ready - for
action. Early in 1914, beforO Europe
went to war, we sent a military and j
naval force into Mexico and cap-j
tured the city of Vera Cruz. '
A dozen times .before we entered
the World War our Navy and our;
Government threatened war against
various South American nations.
Long before we got into the great
conflict publia opinion was putting ,
almost "irresistible pressure upon
our .Government to participate.,
President Wilson resisted until he
could, resist no longer, and we en
tered the greatest war in all history.
IDEAS ..... repeated
Wars are brought about by differences
in ideas more than by any
other single cause. The American
^ebple went into the World War
ause we were afraid that the Gethap
idea would dominate the world
inless Germany- were defeated. .j
The German idea was that the
State is supreme and the individual
the servant of Government. That
liad been bred into generations of
Germans. It was so totally opposed
to American ideas of individual liberty
that we revolted at the thought
that Germany might become able
to impose, that idea.on the rest of
the world. V':' - . r .
Many think of the Hitler govenvr
tnent at today as something newt
It is ancient history in Gerpiany,
where the - military power has always
been supreme.
"We hear more about the treatment
of civilians by the military j
forces now than we used to, be-!
cause we get more detailed news
from Edrope. There has been no
efaange in German ideas in a thou- |
sand years.
PEACE . . . . superioity
I am convinced that there will
never be peace amon^ nations so1
long as one race or group of paople1
regards itself as superior to all other
peoples, and so considers it his the
right to take whatever it want* that
the inferior peoples have.
No nation has a perfect record in(
that respect We Americans, be(Please

and dedication of the Great

term Persident Roosevelt is expected
to pass through Sylva eilroute to the
Great Smokies. His first trip was in
September p, 1^36, when he came
through Sylva from the Smokies, and /
the roads and streets were crowded
with thousands of people, who came
out to see him, and give him the
greatest ovation ever extended to
any man in this region.
The plans this year are for the
President to come to AsheviHe for '
the Rhoddodendron Festival, and
come through Sylva to Newfound
Gap, where the formal ceremonies
of opening and dedicating-the park,
will be held.
It is anticipated thAt about a thousand
State and Federal officials and
distinguished guests, together with
some 15,000 other people will Assemble
at the Gap. That is as many as
can be crowded into the avauaDie
parking space. However, ihe entire
^ceremonies WiH be broadcast by
amplifiers to points in and near the
park, and other thousands of people
are expected to assemble in the towns
of North Carolina and Tennessee near
the park. '4
