Final Address in Support of the League of Nations by 伍德魯.威爾遜
mr. chairman and fellow countrymen: it is with a great deal of genuine pleasure that i find myself in pueblo, and i feel it a compliment in this beautiful hall. one of the advantages of this hall, as i look about, is that you are not too far away from me, because there is nothing so reassuring to men who are trying to express the public sentiment as getting into real personal contact with their fellow citizens. i have gained a renewed impression as i have crossed the continent this time of the homogeneity of this great people to whom we belong. they come from many stocks, but they are all of one kind. they come from many origins, but they are all shot through with the same principles and desire the same righteous and honest things. i have received a more inspiring impression this time of the public opinion of the united states than it was ever my privilege to receive before.
the chief pleasure of my trip has been that it has nothing to do with my personal fortunes, that it has nothing to do with my personal reputation, that it has nothing to do with anything except great principles uttered by americans of all sorts and of all parties which we are now trying to realize at this crisis of the affairs of the world. but there have been unpleasant impressions as well as pleasant impressions, my fellow citizens, as i have crossed the continent. i have perceived more and more that men have been busy creating an absolutely false impression of what the treaty of peace and the covenant of the league of nations contain and mean. i find, moreover, that there is an organized propaganda against the league of nations and against the treaty proceeding from exactly the same sources that the organized propaganda proceeded from which threatened this country here and there with disloyalty, and i want to say -- i cannot say too often -- any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this republic whenever he gets ready.
