4/38 And you have remade the ancient and demoralized Democratic party. Four years ago it consisted of a protest and of the wreck wrought by Mr.Bryan's long captaincy. This rebirth, with a popular majority, is an historical achievement--of your own. Now, if you will permit me to say so, from my somewhat distant view (four years make a long period of absence) the big party task is to build up a clearer and more positive foreign policy. We are in the world and we've got to choose what active part we shall play in it--I fear rather quickly. |
