compete, like the stock-raiser, for an international and
intercredal supremacy in and through breeding....
"As yet we have had no very urgent need for territorial expansion.
Our turn is coming and is coming soon, if only we will heed our own
feudal-minded ones, and will breed fast enough. But, without being
aggressors in this sense, we are yet unavoidably drawn into the

In April, 1919, a vile, crimson pamphlet was on sale in the radical
book-stores of the middle west. We shall not give the title, for it is
