...lessen injuries by discouraging them. But a war aiming to defend American lives or to establish international law seems valueless to me because I think it would defeat its own ends.

This lamentable fact is undoubtedly true. We would win no territorial acquisitions, no pecuniary indemnities. Small matters, like outrages upon American lives and property and national honor are not considered worthy of mention by pacifists. The entire platform, covered by a cloak of doubtful patriotism, is but an ingenious...
