To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
France is apparently selfish and chauvinistic to the extreme — and one of the reasons is we are not there doing our part to help solve the vast problem of which France's difficulty is a mere part. France's need for security Frankly, if I were in France's place, I would do precisely what France is doing. Consider the case. Suppose that we here in Philadelphia had as near to us as Pittsburgh the capital of a country eager at a moment's notice to fly at our throats. Suppose that country of which P...itts- burgh was the capital had twenty million more people than we had — vigorous, virile, fighting people. Suppose that people had fought us twice, invaded our territory and almost ap- proached Philadelphia itself, had even been able to reach Philadelphia with its flying machines and its long distance guns. What would be our attitude toward that country? Would we not say, "What care we for money? What care we for national solvency? What care we for any consideration in the world except the security of our homes and our land?" We would resolve, "Until we can have security against our sons being dragged from our homes, against our land 12 being invaded and devastated again, we are not going to tolerate any steps whatever which will make that enemy strong again." THE CHRONIC DISEASE OF EUROPE As I say, if I were in France's place, I would take exactly her position.
