More from Thomas Erskine Holland
The only legitimate object which States should set before themselves during war is to weaken the military forces of the enemy.
Great Britain, for one, has no desire for an acre of new territory on the American continent.
It is surely desirable that henceforth Great Britain should know, and that other nations should at least have the means of knowing, for certain, whether she is at war or at peace.
Without war the world would stagnate, and lose itself in materialism.
