The President complains bitterly ot trie misunderstanding ol the United States' position throughout the world. Ho says he is not afraid of the slow verdict of history,- which will show that he took the right course in not allowing t-he world's quarrel to become an American quarrel He warns the public that the trouble lias merely been held at arm's length; there is no knowing when it may actually involve them, and hence the necessity for preparedness.
