The American Spirit: Addresses in War-Time (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The American Spirit: Addresses in War-Time
Our pride is that America is playing a noble part in the life of the world. N ot a little, selfish, shrewd part, nor even a strong and ambitious part, but a high - minded, generous, a noble part. Our one fixed doctrine of international policy is founded in a fine chivalry, and all the resources of this conquered continent are the common property of all peoples. Indeed, it is not going beyond the truth to say that When we look deeply into the American heart we Will surely and always find a living and growing sense of trusteeship underlying our rights of possession. We see superficialities Which make for doubt sometimes. We swing off into eddies and by-currents and are led to believe that the main stream is a myth, that after all this is a world for getting, and getting any way one can, for doing and doing what at the time is profit able. But this is a humor of growth. The mood does not last.
