...action by the United States toward this end is in every case left to a decision of Congress as to what form our action shall take. Now, the stand taken by Senator Lodge on this matter is that, if the United States assumes such an obligation, she must uphold it in every case to the full, with power enough to finish the job regardless of the actions of the other members of the League...
...Gleason speaks as "we conservatives who still cling to the principles of the constitution." The insinuation is perfect. Radicals do not uphold the constitution.

We are told that the Germans were accustomed to stimulate their troops after a "strategic retreat" by a wholesale...
