The last great states to 10 The Sole Condition of Permanent Peace. claim it, except in verbal form, were China and Japan, both of which long since abandoned the claim. Imperial Germany has acted like a sovereign state, but still dared not claim real sovereignty; and not even Germany's own people, while they fought for her, relished or approved her disregard of treaties. Every item of recognized international law is a limitation on the sovereignty of the several nations, and every treaty further... clouds the title of the participants. If the sacrifice of sovereignty is in itself bad, the evil must inhere also in treaties, particularly in treaties of alliance and treaties involving concessions, as practically all treaties do; while international law is worse, because it imposes an ill-defined cloud on every state's title to sovereignty. Every patriot who believes in treaties and in their observance should welcome an over-state, able to standardize treaties by incorporating them in general laws, to construe them with authority, and to guarantee their observance, and to substitute definite laws, with explicit sanc- tions, for the present body of unsanctioned and disputed interna- tional law.
