Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peace Through a Disentangling Alliance Proposed Joint Resolution To Prepare the Way for Mediation in the Present European War and to Establish Permanent Peace. Whereas permanent peace is not possible without an irresistible power to enforce it, which power must necessarily consist of a preponderant and well-united league of nations; and Whereas international agreements aiming to maintain the world´s peace cannot safely be trusted to bear the test of trial in time of stress, unless they are primarily designed to promote the self-interests of the contracting parties; and Whereas the true self-interests of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, the most democratic, most enlightened, most progressive great nations, comprising by far the larger part of civilization, are most nearly identical and therefore most apt to he promoted by union, being at the same time most nearly identical with the best interests of all humanity; and Whereas a league of these four nations, though primarily designed for their own benefit, would by its overwhelming strength be enabled, and by sheer self-interest be compelled, to enforce the world´s peace; and Whereas such a league of civilization, cemented by common interests, would constitute a solid, reliable, preponderant nucleus, whose magnetism would quickly attract the Scandinavian States, the Netherlands, and other free States, and thus afford the easiest and surest path to a world federation which would not be in danger of deadlock and disruption; and Whereas the union of the four great democracies into an irresistible power would be the surest and quickest means to democratize the world - to bring liberty, enlightenment, and progress to oppressed and backward nations; and Whereas the prospect of an alliance for mutual benefit between Britain, France, Germany, and the United States would suggest to the belligerents a possibility of withdrawing from the conflict with mutual advantage, and would thus constitute the best preparation for early and effective mediation; and Whereas the leadership toward perpetual peace would secure to the United States the place of honor among the nations for all time to come; and Whereas the Government cannot easily take steps in the matter until it knows whether the people are willing to abandon the tradition of "no alliances"; and Whereas it would be unjust, unpatriotic, and undemocratic to deny to our citizens the right to express their wishes on a question of such supreme importance to them: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That it is desirable to have a popular vote on the following question: Shall the United States, after the European war, offer to conclude a defensive alliance with Britain, France and Germany?
