That was the last cause of trouble for us with European nations upon this continent. When Spain vacated Cuba and left the Caribbean Sea not another single probable cause of war with any European nation remained on the Western Hemisphere. While. of course. there is always a possibility of war. there is no reasonable cause to expect trouble with any Asiatic power. You ought not to presume that a civilized nation. such as Japan is. certainly in her ruling classes. a nation that is aspiring to be one of the foremost nations of the earth. whose people are peacefully inclined. that is trying to develop a great internal coimnmerce and enterpriseyou must not expect such a nation to -be anxious for war with any power. much less with the mightiest power on the face of the globe. I heard with a thrill in my heart the eloquent story of war as depicted by my friend from Alabama . and I heard him conclude it by saying that any man who had been in war is against war.
