Day, he suid In part. "Armistice Da>
has a particular significance for the
United States;, bccause the United
States has remained contented with
the armistice, and has not moved
forward to peace. It is a singular
circumstance, that while we pre
scribed the conditions of the armis
tice, we will not concur in the es
tablishment of a perfect and perma
nent peace. That condition was of
course, brought about by a group in
the United States Senate, who pre
ferred personal and partlzan mo
tives to the iionor of their land and
the peace of the world. They do not
represent the U. S., because the
United States is moving forward and
they are slipping backwards, where
their slipping will end, (Jod only will
determine."
