HISTORY REPEATED . I
The foreign policy of the United States today, al
though much more puzzling and complicated, is a repeti
tion of the international troubles George Washington i
faced when he was president of the country.
Washington had as serious a problem with France as
Wilson has with Mexico.
During Washington’s first term the people of France
were revolting and were calling upon the United States|
for a return of the help France gave us during our revolu
tion.
The revolutionists sent an envoy, Genet, here to en
list our aid.
The country seemed to be wild with enthusiasm and
sympathyfor the revolutionists. But Washington insist-1
ed on waiting until the heat of public opinion cooled down.!
“It is on great occasions onlv, and after time has been;
given for cool and deliberate reflection/' Washington;
said, “that the real voice of the people can be known/' and
Wilson adds, in his biography of the first president, “but a
great risk must be run in waiting to know it.”
Washington's controversv with England arose over
that country’s failure to fulfill its treaty obligations.
England still kept its garrisons at our northwest and
northern borders, was charged with inciting Indians on
our border to invade the country, seized neutral vessels)
going to and from France, and impressed our seamen into
he»’ sen ice.
When John Jay returned with a treaty between Eng-1
land an dthe United States, there was a wild uproar:
against its approval, because nothing was mentioned
about the impressment of American sailors.
But Washington again waited until heated public)
opinion died down and the people saw the treaty worked)
well.
By watchful waiting, as President Wilson has done,
with Mexico and is now doing with Germany, Washington j
was able to keep out of two wars.—(Cleveland Press.)
