...accuse us of being friendly towards England, is that a digrace and a shame? Have we not reason to be friendly to the nation with which we fought side by side in the great war? Why should we be moved to give offense to a friend for the sake of a people who did their best to knife us in the back during the great war, with their pro-German activities?

We must invite, for the sake of peace which is costing so dear, all the other American nations. Give the A-B-C countries equal representation with our own on a board of investigation and recommendation; and give the others some representation. Say a board of two Americans, two members each from the A-B-C republics, and one from each of the others. Let their findings and recommendation guide us. And above all, let us secure...
