WILSON, Woodrow. ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DELIVERED 
AT A JOINT SESSION OF THE HOUSES OF CONGRESS APRIL 2, 1917. Garden City, 
NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1917. First Edition. Publisher's flexible 
green leather with gilt title on the front cover, [4], 30 pages. The 
text of Wilson's Declaration of War against Germany, SIGNED by the 
President and dated 1922 on the front free end paper. Wilson had been 
reelected just a few months before this speech in large part for his 
having kept America out of the European war, but Germany's unrestricted 
submarine warfare could no longer be ignored. In this speech Wilson made 
a profound break with traditional American foreign policy by presenting 
a Progressive view of foreign policy that national interest alone cannot 
guide American policy, that "The world must be made safe for democracy." 
Fraying to the head of the spine with about a half-inch loss of leather, 
light edgewear. Very Good. (#018353)     $7,500.00
