...Atheist. Ferdinand Foch and Georges Clemenceau: Devout Catholic and fiery Atheist. They had to clash. They could win the War without coming to an actual break, but not the Peace. Which was right? Foch will always get his due as Conqueror. Hear Clemenceau: "We disagreed entirely on the question of the Franco-German frontier. The Marshal wanted me to annex the Rhineland, and wrote me so. I did not want to have a new Alsace-Lorraine that would send protesting deputies to the French Chamber, as Alsatian deputies were sent to the Reichstag after 1871. So Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George...

This is contrary to the views of some good friends, who do not appreciate the obstacles to be surmounted in carrying...
...already feeling keenly the need of new lands and resources are also the ones who are likely to have large increases [in population] for the next few decades," and "never has any previous civilization shown a rapacity that compares even remotely to our own." For instance: "The question of whether any white people should hold and exploit a tropical country with native labor as is now being done is going to become one of the burning questions. . . ." Segregation or wholesale deportation are poor remedies. Assimilation of the few by the many is more logical. But race friction usually hinders assimilation...
