Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America as Mandatary for Armenia The acceptance by the United States of America of the proposed Armenian mandate is not a humanitarian duty only. It is the duty of America to help Armenia to organize her government on a permanent basis because it is one of our fundamental political ideals that we should contribute, whatever we reasonably can, toward the emancipation from oppression and tyranny of struggling and deserving communities, provided, of course, we can do so without endangering our own safety, and without interfering with the fixed and recognized rights and duties of other nations. The view still held by a few persons that we can and should cling to the outworn policy of "isolation" or "non-entanglement in foreign affairs" has been conclusively discredited by the war that has just ended. The outstanding fact which we must now recognize, whether we like it or not, is that our will to remain "isolated" or "disentangled" is equally dependent upon the will of other nations. It is an obvious fact that common prudence dictates the necessity of relying upon ourselves - upon our own physical force - for our safety and for the protection of our institutions. But, far-seeing statesmanship and our recent international experiences tell us in certain terms that, it is by insuring in so far as practicable, the safety of the rightful possessions and institutions of other nations and peoples, which share our political and social ideas and ideals that we can best serve ourselves. We must, to be sure, rely upon our fighting men and upon our great navy for the defense of our frontiers and of our rights, but we must not fail to encourage, within the limits of reason and international law, of course, the growth and security of institutions like our own, which relatively serve to strengthen and insure our own.
