We shall not imitate the enemy, appropriating territory and jeopardizing the peace of the world.

We had enough of that with Napoleon; we must not repeat that experience.

We are going to fight for our immediate security, and at the same time for the security of the world--for the life of the weaker nations.

If this were a war of aggression, of mere vanity, of conquest, then we Socialists would bethink ourselves of our anti-militarism.

But this is self-defense, and the government has not been at fault.
