elsewhere, Europe can hardly escape domination: Italy taking control of the Mediterranean and Germany the Balkan zone. It looks as if our blunders 1920-1933 and English and French blunders 1920-26 and 1931-36 have given us a new and dangerous world situation: Germany dominating Europe, Japan dominating the Far East and the United States dominating both Americas. If Woodrow Wilson's bones do not turn in the Cathedral grave, then bones never turn in graves. Possibly you can do something, but from reports of Congressmen's attitudes, I have grave doubts. So many men, including my friend Beard, think absolute isolation a coming paradise. Sincerely yours, William E. Dodd (signature) |
