George O. Smith

Summary

The Incredible Invasion by George O. Smith - It's very difficult to find a good, sound. legal way of stopping an aggressor—when the victims always anxiously invite him to come in and take over! 
Jim Franklen paused a moment before he opened the door of the office. He stopped to read the black lettering with a surface of pride—he was a part of it. 
The sign read: 
UNITED NATIONS 
WEAPON SECURITY 
COUNCIL 
Thomas Winter, President 
Then Franklen opened the door and went in, confidently. He greeted the man behind the desk, who looked up worriedly from a maze of paper work and bade Franklen to sit down. 
Winter said: "Trouble, Franklen. Bad trouble." 
Franklen nodded. "I know," he said. "I've been following it. I gather that the fools are getting worse?" 
Winter agreed with a slight nod of the head and replied: "I can't imagine what they're up to. Yet they continue to rattle the saber and make demands. The Central Power is not ignorant of the ramifications of their acts. Not after we've made point-blank statements. But they continue to get rougher and bolder, just as though they had the world in the palm of their hands." 
"They know that they can't win, don't they?" asked Franklen. 
"They should—they've been told, and they have been shown exactly what will happen, how, and why. The proof is irrevocable, undeniable. Still they continue." 
"I understand we've been watching them closely."
