Certainly, the people of the United States might as well understand un-derstand that they have a price to pay for world peace. No peace will be permanent if the way is left open for other aggressions, or if ascendant nations adopt pacifism paci-fism and permit disgruntled and aggressive peoples to attack them again when they are unprepared. |
