so it was throughout the land, Mothers and father, whose sons were still
uninjured, thanked God.
Commemoration of the day can
never again arouse such a passion of
thankfulness. As memory dims the
celebration becomes less. It was thus
with Memorial Day. ‘Time heals all
wounds and draws a merciful veil
over past agonies. ;
Still today we ean be. thankful
that the lesson of the war. is not forgotten. We know now the “Fourteen
Points’’ were rgointed dragon’s
teeth. We. know now that: Democracy
is never so much_ endangered as
when we fight for its maintenance.
We know now that war breeds despots and that the boom of guns immediately silences the voice of the
people. We know now that iron fisted tyranny grows out of the ashes
of wars. If we have not learned this
lesson from the World war, we are
as incapable of self government "as
the black Ethiopians. .
President Wilson was elected his
second term because of his promise
to keep us out of the war, and despite that the -American people foreed him into the war. It was.the slogan: “Make the world safe for
democracy’’ that sent four million
Americans into training camps and
to France. Nearly two million men
had landed there when the war ended, and it was this new blood stream
injected into the old European arteries, which saved the national existence.of France and Italy and
probably of England. Today we are
able to measure just how much American altruism and Wilsonian ideal!ism cost us. They cost us 175,000
lives of our young men, and a greai
army of the shattered and the woundthey cost us billions in pensions
compensations,“ they cost us
billions im private funds and
repudiated by foreign debt_and in.a large measure they
and
more
credits

cost us the hatred of debtor nations.
Today Europe stands tipsily upon
the brink of another war and we have
another President who is promising
us neutrality and no participation in
European entanglements, But he has
this advantage: the today,
