When we think of our country, we feel proud of it for other and
better reasons than its great size. We know how its extent compares
with that of other nations; we know that the United States covers
an area almost equal to that of Europe, and, more favored than that
Grand Division, is situated on the two great highways of commerce,
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Europe is as far from the latter,
as Asia is from the former; and these highways, powerful means
toward creating prosperity, remain at the same time barriers
whereby nations that find greater delight in the arts of war than
in those of peace, are restrained from disturbing our national
progress. At the beginning of this twentieth century the nations
upon which depends the world's peace or war, happiness or
misfortune, are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France,
Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, Japan, and in the near future
China. Here we see that Europe, although little larger in area than
the United States, is represented by seven nations, Asia by two,
and the Western Hemisphere by one which by its institutions stands
for peace and progress, for law and order. Hence we, its citizens,
are known all over the world as Americans.
