There is overwhelming evidence that Japan has made no honest effort to exhaust all possible peaceable means of settlement; that she has deliberately chosen the old-fashioned strong-arm method; that in doing so she has violated (in spirit, if not in letter) her international obligations. On these matters there is a peculiar unanimity of agreement. Now the issue up to us and the rest...
