But the same broad question that faced Wilson in 1914 faces Roosevelt today: How tan America remain peace? Nobddy can answer that ques- tion, of course, but there are simi- larities and differences in the world situation in 1914 and in 1937 that will help Roosevelt chart a course for the United States. Today the big powers of the world rapidly rearming them- selves with new and terrible ma- chines of war, just as they were in 1914. In those days the nations were just beginning to practice with the comparatively new ma- chine-gum, airplane, zeppelin and submarime.

He says himself that he learned in Wil- son's troubled day some of the things to do, and other things \not to do.\ He knows: 1. America did not save the world for democracy even though she entered the world war to at- tain that ideal. . The league of nations, as now set up, may be a moral force for peace, but it definitely has failed to stop powerful states bent on getting what they want by force. . No important peace treaties since the world war-the Kel- logg-Briand pact, the nine- power pact, the four-power Pacific treaty, Locarno-has yet prevented some of the nations that signed them from taking up arms against each other.

The address wa broadcast on a nation- wide hookup. A free press, Hoover said \is far more than a publishers's priv- flege. It is a right of the people.

It promotes the emotions of hate, fear and disension. \With still further refinements (since the World war) it has been applied to politics. The great quality of this improved poison seems to be that it must be ar- done. \If you don't like an argument on currency or the budget or la- bor relations or what not, you put out slimy and If possible anony- mous propaganda reflecting upon your opponent's grandmother or the fact that his cousin is em- ployed in Wall Street or is a Com- munist or a reactionary. set up straw men afid then attack \You switch the premise and them with fierce courage.\ The only living ex-president, Hoover, made no mention of the Roosevelt administration, nor did he refer to the suggestion for a mid-term Republican convention which he has backed and which party leaders discussed in Chicago last week.
