To women who would send ten cents in silver and write five friends urging them to join in the chain, the "exchange" promised a "new 1217 model silk petticoat." : imerely because it announced to be world America's departure from her historic attitude of isolation. "More important was the offer it confained that in sacrificing that at- titude America should come into the field, not as a challenger, not as a disturber of the peace, but as a defi- nitely pacific force. President Wil- don's proposal. was that America should back with all her potentiali- ties 4 scheme for enforcing peace in the world. He recognized that the only guarantee of good faith is force, and he proposed that force be hence- forth diverted from competitive channels to the common purpose of protecting all'nations against aggres- sion, '"To that proposal Vigecount Grey gives emphatic welcome.
