In order, Arthur J. Balfour, speaking for Great Britain; Baron Admiral Kato, speak- ing for Japan; Senator Schanzer, speaking for Italy, and M.

The United States stands solidly im- pregnable with the lines of its com- munications protected, completely protected, from any conceivable hos- tile attack. “It is not merely that you have 110,000,000 people; it is not that you are the wealthiest nation.
