...safety and American interests. It is not likely that America's proposal will be accepted if she says, in effect: "We propose a world league to enforce peace, every member of which pledges itself to forcibly prevent or punch any breach of the world's peace-but we ourselves cannot promise to furnish a first-class military organization on less than two years' notice."

...balloting has not settled the question; it is a topic of more than a day's importance, one which will continue to be of acute interest until sober discussion has decided it one way or the other. A triumph achieved without preliminary argument, though it may be indicative, cannot be regarded as final. Both sides may still make converts...
