siH'? tfuiiy urge, to protect our peopM|
so far aw wo uiay against the very
serious hardship* and cvHh which
would be likely to arlRO out of the
Inttatlou which would bo prodmvd hy
vast loans.
"In carrying out the measures hy
which these things are to la* ac
complished, we should keep constant
ly in luind the wisdom of interfering
as little as |H?saihle in our own prep
aration and In the equipment of our
own military forces with the duty
for it will l?e a very practical duty?
of supplying the Nations uj|ready at
war with Germany with the materials
which tliey can obtain only from us
or by our assistance They arc in
the Held and we should help them in
every way to be eflWUvo tl?ere.
"I shall take the liberty of sug
gesting, through the several executive
departments *?f the Governments for
the consideration of your committees,
measure for tin? accomplish men t of
the several objects I have mentioned.
I hope that It will be your pleasure
to deal with them as Imving Ihimi
framed after very careful thought by
tlie branch of the Government ujmhi
which tin* re?iH>nsibillty of conduct
ing the war and safeguarding the Na
tions will iuo.st directly fall.
' While we do these things, these
deeply momentous things, let us be
very clear and make very clear to all
the world what our motives and our
objects are. My own thought has not
Ih-cii driven from its habitual and
normal course by the unhappy events
of the last two months, and I do not
believe that the thought of the Na
tion has Ixvl altered or clouded by
them.
"I have exactly the same things in
mind now that I had in mind when I
addressed the Senate on the "J'Jtid of
January last, the same that ( had in
mind when 1 addressed the Congress
on the 'trd day of February and on the
IMlth of February. Our object now,
as then, is to vindicate the principles
of peace and justice in the life of the
world and against selfish and aut>
cratic power and to set us amongst
the really free and self-governed peo
ple* i,l (he world such a concert of
purpose and action as will henceforth
ensure the observance of those prin
ciples.
"Neutrality is no longer feasible or
desirable where the ]>eace of the
world is involved and the freedom of
its peoples and the menace to that
|K?ace and freedom lies In the exist
ence of autocratic Governments backed
hy organized force which Is eon trolled
wholly by their will, not by the will
of their jN?ople. We have seen the last
of neutrality in such circumstances.
"We arc at the beginning ?'f an age
In which it will he insisted that the
same standards of conduct and of
responsibility for wrong done shall be
observed among Nations and their
Governments that are observed amonu
the individual citizens of civilized
