Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Democracy and Peace, the Position of the United States After the War The President´s Peace Address One month ago to-day, the President of the United States, in an address animated by altruism and informed by idealism, formulated to the Senate, his fellow-counsellors in the conduct of our foreign affairs, his conceptions of such a League for Peace as this nation, having regard to its national policy and traditions, might enter after the war. Briefly stated, those conceptions included (a) government by the consent of the governed, which, from the context, seemed to relate rather to the preservation of the principle of nationality than to the matter of forms of government; (b) the possession, by each nation, of an outlet to the sea; (c) the freedom of the seas; and (d) a limitation of armaments. Enthusiasm For The President´s Ideals Remarkable, if not unique, was the spirit in which this address was conceived and delivered. Coming from one chosen, in the fine phrase of John Quincy Adams, "by the people´s unbought grace to rule his native land," it arrested universal attention, and, except for one expression to which I shall presently advert, the sentiments it expressed received admiring tribute from all parts of the world. But Hesitation As To His Recommendation The concrete recommendation made, however, was not so generally accepted.
