Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Place Among the Nations: An Address by Hon. David J. Hill, the First Assistant Secretary of State of the United State, Before the Union League of Philadelphia, January 26, 1901 President Darlington, in introducing the speaker, said: Gentlemen, the position of the United States in the family of nations will not, in my judgment, be determined by a recourse to arms, or by an arrogant assumption of what we may conceive to be our right to demand, but rather will it be determined by our attitude before the nations of the world, and by wise and prudent legislation. So rapid and radical has been the change in our national affairs during the past three years that our foreign relations demand, and will require, the most serious consideration, not only upon the part of the legislative and executive departments of our government, but upon the part of all the people of our country. Upon Congress rests the responsibility of enacting the laws; upon the President rests the responsibility to see that the laws are faithfully observed, and upon us, who are citizens of this great Republic, rests the grave responsibility and duty to use our influence to secure wise, prudent and equitable legislation. The first step to this end is to secure the election to our legislative halls of men of unquestioned probity, whose ability and honesty of purpose is recognized by all the people of the land. The near future must and will determine the place of the United States among the great powers of the world.
