Imperialist enterprise draws political consequences.

These wars appear also to have given its death blow to colonialism and to imperialism in its colonial form, under which weaker peoples were treated as possessions to be economically exploited. At least we hope that such colonialism is on the way out.

A true world outlook is incompatible with a foreign imperialism, no matter how high-minded the governing country.

Wars of any magnitude release powerful social and economic forces which can change the whole face of the world.
