On the other hand. we have furnished to the people of Asia an example of just government. an example of a government doing right. an example of a government which has abandoned the old doctrine that might makes right. that what you can do it is lawful to do. and setting up a new doctrine as protectors of the oppressed as an example to those who desire individual and national liberty. So great has been the moral force of this grand position that no American can travel in any Asiatic country without being constantly reminded of it. No American can travel in those countries without being constantly reminded that he is welcome. that his nation is admired. and when you seek the reason you are told that it is because the United States recognizes and respects the rights of other nations and is not engaged in a career of conquest. The people of China and Japan fear England. fear Russia. fear Germany. but they love and respect the United States.
