Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Terms of Peace, in an American War Policy I have been invited to Minneapolis to discuss to-night the proposals of the League to Enforce Peace. The discussion of these proposals is not only appropriate but is of the very greatest practical importance at this particular time. The immediate cause that has involved the United States in war to-day is that her ships are being sunk and her people killed while they are lawfully engaged in peaceful commerce on the seas; but important as is the immediate protection of our national rights and of our people´s lives against other nations who are engaged in war, this alone would not have drawn us into this war. We are at war because we believe there is a compelling necessity and a real opportunity "to make the world safe for democracy"; to end militarism as a political system; to destroy Prussianism as a national philosophy. We are at war, and our immediate task is to make war effectively. But if we cease for one moment to keep in mind the deep underlying purpose of our warfare, and the great object we hope and intend to accomplish by it, we shall weaken the very effectiveness of our warfare. We shall be of those who gain battles and yet lose a war. Two years ago Lord Grey uttered the profound truth that "Unless mankind learns from this war to avoid war the struggle will have been in vain. Over humanity will loom the menace of destruction. If the world cannot organize against war, if war must go on the resources and inventions of science will end by destroying the humanity they were meant to serve."
