the menace and the actual power of
a vast military establishment, con-

eminent, which, having secretly
planned to dominate the world, pro-

regard either to the sacred obliga-

principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time
for the war; delivered its blow
fiercely and suddenly; stopped at
no barrier either of law or of mercy;
