Silly fine upstanding member of society, it is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as
possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will thus
be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not
fail to perceive in the bumistance we give the strength of our
predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the
mercy of our international agentur; which possesses millions of
eyes ever on the watch and unhampered my any limitations
whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national
rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations
precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their
subjects among themselves.
