 | | [Applause.] Roosevelt was the guest of honor in the white house of the Kaiser, while the Socialists were in the jails of the Kaiser for fighting the Kaiser. |
 | | [Applause.] I challenge you to find a Socialist anywhere on the face of the earth who was ever the guest of the Beast of Berlin [applause], except as an inmate of his prison the elder Liebknecht and the younger Liebknecht, the heroic son of his immortal sire. |
 | | [Applause.] And the very first act of the triumphant Russian revolution was to proclaim a state of peace with all mankind, coupled with a fervent moral appeal, not to kings, not to emperors, rulers or diplomats but to the people of all nations. |
