In all of these things we agree. but I wholly disagree with the tcnor and spirit of his remarks which are to emphasize the selfishness of nations. Selfishness does not look any more beautiful to meand I am sure it does not to youwhen practiced by a nation than it does when practiced by an individual. The position I take has nothing at all to do with the fact that I am a naturalized citizen. as the gentleman from Mississippi has tried to insinuate by constantly throwing the Constitution of the United States in my face and by calling attention to the fact that I had taken an oath of allegiance to that Constitution. We are here to discuss constitutional questions from time to time. and the views I hold are shared by an increasing number of the best and noblest of American citizens.
