What assurance has the American people that a vast and efficient military establishment will not constitute such a source of temptation to our imperialistic interests as inevitably to be used for purposes of foreign exploitation? We have, since the Spanish-American War, embarked on a career of imperialism, which, together with the fact of the admitted aggression and exploitation of the Mexican War of 1846-1848, gives us little assurance that our politicians and diplomats will necessarily use such power...
