We must aend troops
to the firing line as rapid
ly as possible. Defensive
war is hopeless. We must
by vigorous offensive war
fare win the right to have
our voice count for civili
zation and justice when
the time for peace comes.
There are only two
elasses in thisi country
now. There are Ameri
cans, and there are anti
Americans. I care not
what a man's religion or pontics is u ■ muw ne is *
red blooded American.
Don't hit a man unless you have to, but when a
man hits me I'm going to hit him back, and hit him
hard I love peace so well I am willing to fight for
it, and the harder we hit the sooner we get peace.
Mere parrying blows only delay the end.
Let us dare to look the truth in the face. Let us
dare to use our own strength in our own defense and
strike hard for our national interest and honor.
Let us all be Americans and nothing else, with an
absolutely undivided allegiance to this country, jealous
of her honor, ready at any moment to serve her, not
merely with words, but with deeds, and judging every
foreign nation in every crisis solely by that nation's
conduct in that crisis. We must none of us permit
either love for any other country or hatred for any
other country to influence in the smallest degree our
single hearted devotion to the honor and interest of
our own land.
