The Federation of The World
Sixty-four years ago Tennyson wrote in "Locksley Hall:”
"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
‘Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders
would be.

The Auto Show—17 Years Ago
“Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rained a j
ghastly dew. |
“From the nation’s airy navies, grappling in the central blue; j
“Till the war drums throbbed no longer and the battle flags i
were furled,
“Tn the parliament of man. the federation of the world.”
Literature furnishes no nobler utterance. What Presi-
dent Wilson proposed in his address to the senate Monday is
nothing more nor less than this, “federation of the world.”
Between Tennyson and Wilson numberless poets and
statesmen and lovers of humanity have given expression in
one form or another to this same beautiful aspiration.
The president’s address takes high rank among these ex
pressions.
It contains more practical suggestion^ than any of them. |
for so far as the president can do so. it commits America toj
'*he policy of joining such a federation, provided it can he |
worked out on lines that are satisfactory to this country.
But even the president's address leaves much to he de- j
sired so far as practical application of the theory of a world I
federation is concerned.
This lack should not detract from the full credit that is I
due the president for sounding this high note at a time when ,
most of the civilized nations arc at death grips in the nto-t ;
devastating war in history.
It is well that there is at the head of the greatest nation i
at peace, a statesman with the idealism and the courage ,
required to do w hat I’resident Wilson has done.
In its more concrete asppets the address was a direct
challenge to those Americans who still hold to the belief
that this country can continue to enjoy all the privileges of
living in the world of nations and share none of the burden - i
and responsibilities.
It is too early to know what the full effect of the presi-
dent's action will be upon the people of the nations at war.'
That the president was aiming at them, rather than at their ■
leaders is apparent from many expressions in his statement. |
One thing is certain. The president has let it he known j
that as the chosen representative of the greatest democracy,
lie will not lend his aid to the establishment of peace and its ;
preservation, unless it is based upon justice to the long-suf-
fering common people of the fighting nations.
It is more than a gentle hint to European monarehs that!
•.his democracy has nothing in common with their lust for!
aggression and power at the expense of the men and women 1
whom they are pleased to consider their subjects. j
