rules the world for good; on it thrive
science, literature. music, art and even
charity" he continued, in part. Com
mercialism could stop the war if the
nations of the world should say to any
country: If you refuse to arbitrate
your differences we will impose a pen
atty on you by declaring duty on all
goods we import from you of double
the amount of the regular duty from
other countries for a term of years. Is
there government which would dare
jeopardize it's country's welfare under
such conditions? Is there country
which today believes it can live with
out the help of other nations?"
