Woodrow Wilson actually said...

If you could get 10 per cent insurance of your fortunes in respect of peace, wouldn't you rather take it than no insurance at all?

Europe was full of people under the iron and relentless hand of military power, and that hand has been removed and crushed.

America has to do at this moment nothing less than prove to the world whether she has meant what she said in the past.
