Woodrow Wilson [There are striking p.ir.illcl ' in thf Presidential careers of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, both in the con- ditions that brought about their elections and in the characters and motivating principles of the two men. The quotation given below is taken from an address made by President Roosevelt on Woodrow Wilson and his efforts for peace, before the Wilson Foundation in Washington, December 29. Coming from the President of the United States, this is a significant gesture and should be a powerful instrument for the peace visioned by Woodrow Wilson — Davidson ' s greatest alumnus.] ary HE imagination of the masses of world l population was stirred, as never before, by President Wilson ' s gallant appeal to them — to those masses — to banish future war. . . . Through the League directly, or through its guiding motives indirectly, the states of the world have groped for- ward to find something better than the old way of composing their differences. Through all the centuries and down to the world conflict of 1914 to 1918. wars were made by governments. Woodrow Wilson challenged that ne- cessity. That challenge made the people who create and who change government think. They wondered with Woodrow Wilson whether the people them- selves could not some day prevent governments from making war. It is but an extension of the challenge of Wood- row Wilson for us to propose in this newer gen- eration that from now on war by governments shall be changed to peace by peoples.
