He promised that the United States would never enter into any race of armaments nor seek to arm herself with weapons other than those needed for her own defense. The primary purpose of this tion, said Roosevelt, is to avoid being drawn into war and to seek in every practicable way to promote peace and discourage war. However, he warned, "America must and will protect herself." The President struck hard at those who sought to profit from the tragedy of war.

Defends Nation's Record "Except for those few who have placed or who place temporary selfish gain ahead of National or world peace," he said, "the overwhelming mass of American citizens are in hearty accord with these basic policies of our Government, as they are also entirely sympathetic with the efforts of other nations to end war." He took a realistic view of international conditions and commented upon the fact that "most serious of all, international confidence in the sacredness of international contracts is on the wane." As an offset to the threats and jealousies of world powers, Roosevelt announced that Premier William MacKenzie King, of Canada, had agreed upon first principles of a trade treaty between the two nations, expected to increase further the unbroken amity and goodwill of the countries. record as a leader the cause of Roosevelt defended, America's peace.

"We have either led or performed our full part in every important attempt to limit and to reduce armaments. We have sought by definite act and solemn commitment to establish the United States as a good neighbor among nations.

"We are acting to simplify definitions and facts by calling war 'war' when armed invasion and a resulting killing of human beings take place." Must Go Forward The "glories" of war, said Roosevelt, are a delusion. "Fortunately," he said, "there evidence on every hand that the youth of America, as a whole, is not trapped by delusion. "They know that elation and prosperity which may come from a new war must lead- those who survive it -to economic and social collapse more sweeping than any we have experienced in the past. "While, therefore, we cannot and must not hide our concern for grave world dangers and while, at the same time, we cannot build walls around ourselves and hide our heads in the sand, we must go forward with all our strength to stress and to strive for international peace." The President characterized an act of aggression by the United States under his administration as "an impossibility."

R. McDevitt after a long period of faithful and remarkable service. "His many friends of all creeds found in him a sturdy Christian character, broad in his sympathies, and yet firm in his convictions and ready to co-operate in movements of civic righteousness and uplift.

Dean of Women Josephine B. Meredith satisfied the shouters by making an address. Satisfied with the oratory of the midnight hour, the paraders went to the square and took a German cannon from its place, hauling it to the campus where it was set up in front of Old West.

On the way back two express trucks were picked up from the Pennsylvania station. One of these taken up to the chapel at Godfrey Hall and the other was placed in the corridor nearby.
