To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Can we claim that Eu- ropean statesmen show at present a conspicuous willingness to defend our present interests? Have the nations forborne to promote their own ambitions where they knew them to be inimical to those of others? Have they hesitated to em- ploy the force at their command to further theii own welfare at the expense of peoples unprotected and entirely innocent of offense? If we abandon the use of force, or fail adequately to prepare tc use it in emergencies, we shall sacrifice the i...n- dispensable before its loss becomes inevitable; we shall remove our right to adapt American policies in the future to American needs as shown by the shifting conditions of American life and the ambitions of European nations. The peculiar fatality of such a choice lies in the sacrifice of all opportunity to alter the deci- sion. Once definitely adopted, a policy of un- preparedness, or a lack of adequate prepared- ness, spells an inability to prepare at all, the irrevocable surrender of the right to choose, the perpetual limitation of American interests by the maximum expression of European and Asiatic ambitions.
