Show A PEOPLE'S WAR flHPHE great fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a People's War, a war for freedom and justice and self-government amongst all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it and have made it their own, the German people included in-cluded ; and that with Ul rests the choice to break through all hypocrisies and patent cheats and masks of brute force and help set the world free, or else stand aside and let it be dominated a long age through by sheer weight of arms and the arbitrary choices of self-constituted masters, by the nation which can maintain the biggest armies and the most irrisistible armaments a power to which the world has afforded no parallel and in the face of which political freedom must wither and Perish." Woodrow Wilson, President of the United State. (& |
