'But if many states join their resources, shall we not be in

danger?' I am amused to hear you use the word 'state' of any but

our own State. They are 'states,' but not 'a state'-many in one.

which you may set one against the other. But our State, while she

remains true to her principles, will be in very deed the

mightiest of Hellenic states.
