NO COMPULSORY INFLICTION OF DISEASE

“IN THE DISCARD”

“The world has just destroyed the arbitrary force of a military junta. It will live under no other. All that is arbitrary and coercive is in the discard. Those who seek to employ it will only prepare their own destruction.” President Wilson, in Message to Congress, August 8, 1919.
