To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet it is not this fact, nor even German brutality of word and threatened act — to which indeed something of gratitude was due for clear- ing the issue of much obscuration — it is not these which offer the most conclusive demon- stration of what the cause of international law and order demands of us now that we are in the war. Germany has violated our rights, and so has given us a casus belli. But the vastly more important circumstance is that, pursuant of the principles avowed by her statesmen..., her jurists and men of learning, it was inevitable that sooner or later she should do just this thing. To put the matter somewhat differently : While it is Germany's violations of international law that have brought us into the war, it is what these violations imply that must keep us there until Germany is defeated, since they spring from ideas which make any rational hope of good order in the world of nations a perma- nent impossibility. Suppose we extend our comparison of the derelictions of Great Britain and Germany to the apologetic efforts of their statesmen.
