meeting for the first time, raised a specific question, which they discussed throughout the balance of the year in a very learned fashion. And the question is, Is there any means known more effective than war, assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people? They conclude that no more effective means than war, to that end, is known to humanity. So then, in 1909, they raised the second question and discuss it. Namely, How do we involve the United States in a war? .. . Then finally they answer that question as follows, "We must control the State Department." And then that very naturally raises the question of how to do that. They answer it by saying we must take over and control the diplomatic machinery of this country, and finally they resolve to aim at that as an objective. Then time passes and we are eventually in a war, which would have been World War I. And at that time they record on their minutes a shocking report in which they dispatch to President Wilson a telegram cautioning him to see that the war does not end too quickly. And finally, of course, the war is over. At that time their interest shifts over to preventing what they call a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914, when World War I broke out.
