“He was sick of this canting humbug about internationalism. Nationalism, not internationalism, was the policy for Britain.”

Speech in Cardiff (20 July 1918), quoted in The Times (22 July 1918), p. 3

“Germany...deliberately appealed to the arbitrament of the sword. Now, when she is beginning to learn that the world is not a sheep to be butchered, but that it has both the means and the will to defend itself, she talks about a “League of Nations.””

Had she achieved world power, would our fate have differed from that of Russia or Rumania? Would she then have talked about a League of Nations?
