It is net so long ago since the United States was engaged in the greatest foreign war in our his tory, that men still in the prime €f life cannot remember its begin ning and its end. One dees not have to be forty to recall the slogan “He kept us outi «f war” w r hich was the victorious battle-cry of the Democratic Party in 1916, or to remember how, less 3han six months after his re-elec- hen, President Woodrow Wilson was forced by circumstances and the pressure of public opinion to *aB upon Congress to declare war against Germany. Nobody would be safe in ventur ing to prophesy in these troubled days that some similar circum stances and an aroused public •pinion may not drag the United States again into war. One point which is not always dear in the minds of people today *hght to be kept to the fore in all tfte war talk. That is that Amer- ata did not go to war to save Prance or England or Belgium or any other nation but our own. We were fighting for our hand, and President Wilson resisted every effort to line us up as allies «f any other nation. In. the newly-issued seventh rclmne of Ray Stannard Baker’s great authorized biography of Woodrow Wilscn that point is em phasized over and over again, in Ifee personal letters and official documents of the President. On one occasion, when the Food JUtarinistrator, Herbert Hoover, issued a poster containing the words “Our Allies” President Wil son wrote him, reminding him fftat the words “Our Associates in tbe War” was the proper phrase, ad<fing that the American people vrexe very jealous of any intima tion of formal alliances. If we should be forced into an»£her war, it will not be as al- Ses of any other nation, but in de lease of our own rights alone. x r The Rev. R. E.
