letter to President Monroe, urging the adoption of what we now know as
the Monroe Doctrine, he wrote:
"Nor is the occasion to be slighted which this proposition
offers of declaring our protest against the atrocious violations of the
rights of nations by the interference of any one in the internal affairs
of another."
We, like Jefferson, have witnessed atrocious violations of the
rights of nations.
We, too, have regarded them as occasions not to be slighted.
We, too, have declared our protest.
We must make that protest effective by aiding those peoples whose
freedoms are endangered by foreign pressures.
We must take a positive stand. It is no longer enough merely to
say "ww don't want war. # We must act in time -- ahead of time - to stamp
out the smouldering beginnings of any conflict that may threaten to spread
over the world.
We know how the fire starts. We have seen it before -- aggression
by the strong against the weak, openly by the use of armed forcel and secretly
by infiltration. We know how the fire spreads. And we know how it ends.
