Politically this nation will aid in the final overthrow of a Prussianized aggressive government that has shown a continued disrespect for the traditional rights of belligerents and neutrals alike. It would seem idiotic not to be able to conclude from these two statements the obvious course of action for this country. Yet many of us feel that a mere declaration of war is all that is necessary to regain...
