Once American battleships fire or are fired upon in Europe waters, we shall be committed to a policy that will end years latter either with American doughboys marching down. Unter den Linden, or with a shameful and disastrous retreat to our own hemisphere. In any case this war will mean universal conscription, loss of civil liberties, regimentation, and hard times.
