Hament. With this suggestion I am in entire and whole hearted sympa- thy; but we must not let emotion lead us into a radical departure from the policy which has made and kept us great. Fear for our safety need not cause us to enter such an argu- means to provide for our safety; and if we will not avail ourselves of them we are not worth saving. We should consider carefully whether mixing in the affairs of other nations is not probably a surer way to produce. war than to prevent it. No self-respect- ing nation should enter such an all liance unless it is prepared to accept the consequences Of seeing its destiny determined by other minds and other interests"
