Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.
Moreover, if the territorial state is to continue as the last word in the development of society, then war is inevitable.
It is in Virginia and Georgia that the war now rages and where it will continue; for at these points - Richmond and Atlanta - the enemy's main strength is concentrated.
I believe nobody is stronger than the state. So the state would be strong, and we have to work altogether to make the strength of the state.
Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.
War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means.
Once you start a war, you have to win.
No state, furthermore, unless it has aggressive military designs such as those which consumed Nazi leaders in the thirties, is likely to divert to defense any more of its resources and wealth and energy than seems necessary.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
The state comes into existence for the sake of life and continues to exist for the sake of good life.
