What, then, is the answer to my friend's challenge? I confess myself still unshaken by it. We must admit that these militarists, these enthusiastic spurners of inter- national law, these eloquent would-be torturers of civil populations, these rejecters and despisers of arbitra- tion and peace, do exist among us; they exist among us, but, thank Heaven and our own common sense, they do not control our Government.
