guarantee peace and justice throughout the world through a league of Message an Epoch in It an epoch making occasion Not since the foundation of the republic has a President of the United in public de- clared the right of this nation to be heard in the terms which will settle a wai in which the country has no active part Not since the days of Washington has a President of the United States laid
