It would depend upon the patriotic spirit of the employers of the country whether they made it possible for the younger men in their employ to respond under favorable conditions or not. I, for one, do not doubt the patriotic devotion either of our young men or of those who give them employment,--those for whose benefit and protection they would in fact enlist. I would look forward to the success of such an experiment with entire confidence.Annual Message to Congress (1915) https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/state-of-the-union-address-104/ 2025-01-01 Teaching American History en-US References Woodrow Wilson's Third State of the Union Address 1915 State of the Union Address 1914 State of the Union Address 1916 State of the Union Address State of the Union addresses 1 1915 expanded Category:Presidency of Woodrow Wilson Category:Speeches by Woodrow Wilson Category:64th United States Congress State of the Union Address State of the Union Address State of the Union Address Category:December 1915 in the United States Category:1910s State of the Union addresses
