Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 6: March, 1917
In the matter of foreign rela tions, I would seek to maintain peace with all countries, but by a firm and unyielding, though ever courteous, insistence on the rights of our citizens at home and abroad.

I look forward to world peace. But maintain that it can only come through world federation. The present war is bringing a larger and ever larger number of our citizens to the conclusion that the policy of isolation, adhered to by our country since its formation, must now be forsaken. Isolation was the best policy in the early years of our national life, when we were weak and poor. Both in wealth and experience. But today we are strong. Our friendship is desired, and our wishes will re ceive due consideration. In fact.
