Thoughts For The Times
I'.NCONQVHHAIII.K AIIKRICA. "America '1 m>t fear war-. AVliy should she ? Her iong coastlines, it is true, are inadequately protected. It is a matter of casual observation that we rebuild New York every 30 years. Some of her most splendid cities would appear as tempting targets to warriors of the seas, hut the circumstance is relatively trivial. Hut at the back of the cities of the coast lies the great qountry which constitutes (the real America, with the registered total of more than 2d,000,00 of men between the ages of IT and 45 capable of bearing arms. To pronounce such a land unconquerable is to utter the merest truism. America simply hates war. Not only will she never seek additional territory by conquest; she would not accept it as a gift.”—Colonel Harvey, American Ambassador.
