Dash Problem

If you could please help by fixing the the dashes. In a lot of places its looks like this (messed up parts are bold and italic):

Nations will respond to the call for absolutely open dealings in international affairs, with a varying degree of readiness and enthusiasm. We are perhaps justified in saying that wherever the people can make their desires felt they will be unanimously for a policy of openness. The Eng- lish tradition of public life would also be favor- able to such a principle of action, were it not that such special imperial interests as the British raj in India frequently inspires British diplomacy with narrower motives and with a readiness to depart from open dealings from a conviction that imperial interests so require. The Russian So- viet government in giving to the public a full knowledge of international affairs, was at first inspired primarily by a desire to discredit the old regime. But it is also undoubtedly true that the hold which this government has on the party which supports it, is in a measure due to the fact that all foreign policies and relationships are freely reported to, and discussed in, the party meetings and the Soviets. No matter what the aims of this government may be, it cannot be de- nied that it has strengthened itself by the open- ness of its foreign policy. The Chinese people have manifested a deep faith in public opinion and their chief desire in international affairs is that there shall be open, straightforward dealings so that all the world may know and judge. Through all their difficulties of the last decade they have been sustained by this faith in the strength of a good cause in the forum of world-wide public opinion.

The peoples of the Continent of Europe un- doubtedly would welcome a reign of openness and truth, for they have suffered most from se- cret dealings in diplomacy. But those who gov- ern them find it difficult to extricate themselves from the tangle of intrigue. As President Wil- son expressed it

This happened because the document I was adding to Wikisource had all those dashes that you put when a word doesn't completely fit on to a line. So if you can help, that would be appreciated.

After you completely finish reading through a chapter and you fix it, please add a check to it (√)

Thanks, Skunkmaster IV

Tranferring of Chapters

Another way to help is to tranfer the chapters into their subpages. Please do not do this until a check (√) has been placed next to the chapter heading.
