AMERICA’S VIEW
STAYING OUT OF THE WAR. “As far as my influence in the councils of inis Government may prevail. no son of mine or yours will be called on to serve as a. blood offering at the altar of Mars." said Mr Harry H. Woodring. United States Secretary of War. in a recent speech. "I know that lhe President of lhe United States hates war with every fibre in his soul, and 1 know he is tirmlj resolved that American blood shall not be spilled on the battlefields ot Europe. American military policy is based upon the defence of our territory and institutions, not on an offensive against any other country under God’s heaven. One result of any prolonged conflict may well be the extinguishing of democracy in Europe and Asia. What would it profit the United States Io gain a military triumph and lose its democratic soul?”
