Stranica 100 - It will, of course, be understood that in carrying out the purpose of the League, the Government of the United States must at all times act in strict harmony with the terms and intent of the United States Constitution, which cannot in any way be altered by the treaty-making power.
Stranica 99 - We advocate the Immediate ratification of the Treaty without reservations which would Impair its essential Integrity : but do not oppose the acceptance of any reservations making clearer or more specific the obligations of the United States to the League Associates.
Stranica 100 - In giving its assent to this treaty the Senate has in mind the fact that the League of Nations which it embodies was devised for the sole purpose of maintaining peace and comity among the nations of the earth and preventing the recurrence of such destructive conflicts as that through which the world has just passed. The cooperation of the United States with the League and its continuance as a member thereof will naturally depend upon the adherence of the League to that fundamental purpose.
Stranica 98 - ... guns, submarines, airships and poison gases. It is no secret that our chemists had perfected, when the contest came to a precipitate close, gases so deadly that whole cities could be wiped out, armies destroyed, and the crews of battleships smothered. The public prints are filled with the opinions of military men that in future wars the method, more effective than gases or bombs, will be the employment of the germs of diseases, carrying pestilence and destruction. Any nation prepared under these...
Stranica 94 - I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as a Republican Congress can pass its declaration for a Republican executive to sign. Then we may turn to our readjustment at home and proceed deliberately and reflectively to that hoped-for world relationship which shall satisfy both conscience and aspirations and still hold us free from menacing involvement.
Stranica 99 - The question is whether we shall or shall not join in this practical and humane movement. President Wilson, as our representative at the peace table, entered the League in our name, in so far as the executive authority permitted. Senator Harding, as the Republican candidate for the presidency, proposes in plain words that we remain out of it. As the Democratic candidate, I favor going in.
Stranica 112 - We want to forget war and be free from the troubling thought of its possibility in the future. We want the dawn and the dews of a new morning. We want happiness in the land, the feeling that the square deal among men and between men and Government is not to be interfered with by a purchased preference. We want a change from the old world of yesterday, where international intrigue made the people mere pawns in the chessboard of war. We want a change from the [ 112 ] old industrial world where a man...
Stranica 76 - If peoples from overseas desire to live with us and become a part ot the nation's life, they must accept, in the first instance, this condition, namely, that principles of government must change thru the evolution and processes of calm, human intelligence and that the mind of the majority, rather than the violence of a minority, must be the determining factor. We have been thrilled and reassured by the militant declaration made to this conference by the Secretary of Labor, Honorable William B.
Stranica 113 - From the old industrial world where the man who toiled was assured "a full dinner pail" as his only lot and portion. But how are we to make the change? Which way shall we go? We stand at the forks of the road and must choose which to follow. One leads to a higher citizenship, a freer expression of the individual and a fuller life for all. The other leads to reaction, the rule of the few over the many and the restriction of the average man's chances to grow upward. Cunning devices backed by unlimited...
Stranica 49 - ... in the streets; in Ohio, not so much disorder as attends a trolley strike in New York City. In all six years of his administration Cox has never called out the State militia to police a strike. He has never had the need to. I end on this note because, of the positive qualities in Governor Cox, this seems to me the dominant one. It represents him — fairly, I think — as a man with considerable courage and a good deal of self-possession. It shows, too, what is a key to Cox's mind in more ways...
