To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Offensive and Defensive Alliances Above all, in these days when war itself is inter- nationalized and a half-dozen nations or more fight on either side, it behooves us to instruct our ambassadors to secure understandings, ententes and iron-clad alli- ances with the powers of this earth, both great and small. Even the little fellows in the Balkans may come in handy, as we have seen. Washington's warning against entangling alliances is entirely out of date, and if adhered to might well cause our ...country itself to be eclipsed. If a victorious Germany and her allies are to attack us, we should prepare for such an emergency by making an ofifensive and defensive alli- ance with all that is left of Germany's opponents and with all that are left of the neutral states. If a victori- ous Great Britain, Japan and their allies are to attack us, it is none too early, — perhaps, in view of our last year's experiences, it is even now too late, — for us to bind the Teuton and the Turk to our sides as shield and buckler.
