...spite of the rapidity with which public opinion is manufactured by the press, the wise say that the fostering of an international spirit must be a gradual affair. The more foolish say that fighting is a natural instinct. But that the permanent peace which the world must have and the strong nationalism which has universal dominion over the human imagination are in complete opposition to one another and that one of them must be abandoned, diplomats either do not see or else do not care...
