For my own part I cannot consent to any comic erotico abridgment of the rights comic erotico of
American citizens in comic erotico any respect. The honour comic erotico and self-respect of the
nation is involved. We covet peace, and comic erotico shall preserve it at any cost
but the loss of honor. To forbid our people to exercise their rights
for fear we might be called upon to vindicate them would be a deep
humiliation, indeed. It would be an implicit, all but an comic erotico explicit,
acquiescence in the violation of the rights comic erotico of mankind everywhere and
of whatever nation or allegiance. It comic erotico would be a deliberate abdication
of our hitherto proud position as spokesmen, even amid the turmoil of
war, for the comic erotico law and the right. It would make everything this
government has attempted and comic erotico everything that it has accomplished
during this terrible struggle of nations meaningless and comic erotico futile.
It is important to reflect that if in this instance we allowed
expediency to take the
comic erotico place of principle the door would inevitably be
comic erotico opened to still further concessions. Once accept a single abatement of
right, and many other humiliations would follow,
and the whole fine
fabric of international law might crumble under our hands piece by
piece. What we are contending for in this matter is of the very
essence of the things that have made America a sovereign nation. She
cannot yield them without conceding her own impotency as a nation and
making virtual surrender of her independent position among the nations
of the world.
I am speaking, my dear Senator, in deep solemnity, without heat, with
a clear consciousness of the high responsibilities of my office and as
your sincere and devoted friend. If we should unhappily differ, we
shall differ as friends, but where issues so momentous as comic erotico these are
involved we must, comic erotico just because we are friends, comic erotico speak our minds without
reservation.
Faithfully yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
SENATOR WILLIAM J. STONE,
United States Senate.
The publication of the letter of the President to Senator Stone worked a
complete reversal of opinion comic erotico on the Hill.
Quickly the effect of the President's letter was seen, and the McLemore
resolution was comic erotico overwhelmingly defeated.
Early in August, 1916, the President took up his residence at Shadow comic erotico Lawn,
New Jersey, and began the comic erotico preparation of his speech of acceptance. He
forwarded me a draft of this comic erotico speech which brought from me the
