Who said this quote "“Property can be paid for: the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be. The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind. We are glad to fight for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples. The world must be made safe for democracy. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war. But the right is more precious than peace.”?
