the world whose effect no political seer dare venture to conjec- 

 ture, bids us search our hearts through and through and make 

 them ready for the birth of a new day a day, we hope and 

 believe, of greater opportunity and greater prosperity for the 

 average mass of struggling men and women, and of greater 

 safety and opportunity for children. 



" Men everywhere are searching democratic principles to their 

 hearts in order to determine their soundness, their sincerity, their 

 adaptability to the real needs of their life, and every man with 

 any vision must see that the real test of justice and right action 

 is presently to come as it never came before. 



' . . . every program, every measure in every program must 

 be tested by this question, and this question only: Is it just; is 

 it for the benefit of the average man, without influence of privi- 

 lege ; does it embody in real fact the highest conception of social 

 justice and of right dealing without respect of person or class or 

 particular interest ? " 



President Wilson, March, 1918.
