No Time to Talk Peace In War Era Editorial
The Monroe Journal argues against peace talks while World War I rages. It defends Wilson’s strategy to break Prussian militarism, support for Allied war aims, and the removal of Kaiser Wilhelm and the Hohenzollerns. It cites Germany’s potential internal revolt, allied expectations, and dangers of a patched peace, while noting Liberia and Japan entering the conflict. A poem extols American resolve to fight until victory.
