Until you change human nature you can never abolish war. but you can meet it with intelligence. with a view to selfpreservation. and selfdefensethe first law and duty of nature. If you can get other warring nations to agree to disarm. so far. so good. but whenever you go to a worlds court selected by the chief executive of each nation. responsible to no one. then you give to them the power to fix the international law of the world and the relation between nations. as this Nation fixhs the relation between State and State. and you turn over to it all of the power over international affairs. And that not only involves armament. but it involves every principle dear to this Republic. every quesL tion that would involve a dispute. even the coming to our shores of aliens who do not agree to our institutions. the question of immigration Itself would thus be controlled. Even the tariff laws sooner or later and all other questions must be surrendered. and If there should come a dispute between the religion of our Nation and the religion of another. this. together with all race differences. would be determined by that worlds court. I repeat again.
