The same spirit has checked that manifestation. and Insists that this country shall remain unarmed. following out this old policy at least until it can be seen whether the result of this war will enable the world to come and adopt ours. before we should even consider being driven to adopt theirs. We earnestly hope that this spirit of distrust exemplified in this bill shall be defeated. and that those features of your policy which this and other measures propose to change. and which I think are time most valuable that this country has ever enjoyed In a great crisis of civilization. shall be upheld. The defeat of this measure will mark the triumph of our civilization. the security of this Government. the continued stream of immigration that will feed the springs of our production and continue our prosperity at least at the level that it has attained. and probably carry it higher than ever . whereas if this measure passes. it not only will impair our prosperity. not merely cloud our credit. but it will darken the prospects of humanity throughout the world. Mr. President I am glad that I can couple the prayer of humanity with the demands of this people.
