lay is TO prevent. For the war
party of Europe could never have
overthrow civil authority save
by the rush OF haste. To most
OF Us. war is not a natural
phenomenon coming OF itself as a
social or political necessity. II
Is mad outcome OF individual
political plumbers and sins. OF the
aftermath OF secret and un-
friendly diplomacy, to be cured
by letting in the light OF day.
We want no fighting AT the
drop OF the hat" The peace
workers OF the world have never
been blind to the dangers ahead.

made acute by the seizure or
Bosnia in 1908. and further ac-
centuated by the acts OF various
nations since that time. They
knew perfectly well the schemes
advocated by retired members OF
the general staff and by journals
under control OF armament cor
porations. They were warned
that the seizure of Belgium and
Holland. OF Calais and Boulogne
was under contemplation. with
an indemnity from Paris to pay
all war expenses. But these
plans, yociferously promulgated,
were not taken seriously by the
business men of any nation, least
OF all in Germany where such
men had most TO lose.
Peace Is not a negative thing.
the absence of fighting. II is war
which is negative. the absence CT
peace, the failure OF law and
order. OF religion and science, OF
morals and industry, OF every
condition which makes for pro-
gress in. the individual or in the
race, this Is War. Peace is the
normal human condition, the con-
dition which allows personal
happiness and constructive work.
War is sometimes unavoidable.
sometimes by comparison laud-
able. but its sole function is ruin.
II brings destruction TO pros
perity, TO morals and to the future
OF the races involved in II. In the
picturesque language OF the day,
a battle is a "mollycoddle fac
tory" and the extinction OF the
best blood of one generation
means a similar exhaustion for a
century TO come.

when the storm is over.
As TO this. Charles F. Dole used
these stimulating words: "a
perilous venture many say. That
Is because they have not thought
IL out. IL Is the kind OF venture
by which every advance In civil
zation is achieved. War settles
nothing; 1t merely puts down the
weaker party. We steer quite
clear now of the DOGGY which they
call 'Peace-at-any-price,' II they
mean by that any lower price.

work, peace costs courage and
enterprise" Small efforts" OBJ

PACIFISTS AND PREPAREDNESS
feace Workers Of America Not Opposed to ADEQUATE Arm
By DAVID STARR JORDAN
Chancellor Leland Stanford IT. Univers;tv

The question Of our own pre-
paredness for war seems to be OF
the kind We call academic, for we
want war with nobody and no.
body threatens war wit hus.
while meanwhile the great
powers. OF the world are dis
solving before our very eyes.
In the United States, no one ad-
vocates disarmament under pres
ent conditions. For this there
are two main reasons; II would
not be done. and the policy OF a
nation should have continuity. A
sudden change OF any sort Is
likely TO be followed by a sud-
den reaction. Besides, the whole
armament question is only an in
cident in international concilia-
ton The introduction OF FAIR
play in place OF diplomacy would
do away with senseless rivalry.
Nations are not attacked because
they are unarmed, nor let alone
because they are heavily equip
ped. In so far as armament er-
fects peace. nations are mostly
armed through rivalry, and arma-
ment rivalry is the first stage or
war. The forces which make for
peace are. primarily. to be law
abiding. second TO be just and
helpful. Oyer-armament is a posi-
tive danger. as the conditions IN
Europe show. Armament Is a
means to victory, and victory i'm

The peace-workers of the world
do not constitute a sect or
party. No one controls them,
and no one can speak for them.
Some are banded into societies,
some are free lances; some are
both Some of the societies have
neithr funds nor dues. Others
control certain amount OF
money, most OF IL the gift of two
far-seeing citizens OF our re-
public. These gifts make pos

journalists, teachers. publicists,
preachers, business men. cores
pondents, soldiers sometimes,
men and women not enrolled in
the register as 'pacidsts." often
leads In effectiveness the various
forms OF organized effort.
In general, however. the peace
workers are for "peace-at-any-
price, when the price is one we
can easily pay. This sneer. was
first aimed at Wellington. and We
may accept 1t. We are for peace
at any price until, as In Belgium,
war and peace means the same
thing. What we urge Is TO count
the cost. We would see the
price-lists first. We would not
rush into war with a whoop, to
make our calculations afterwards.

we will stand for war. The
pacifists OF France and Belgium,
those who are young enough. are
at the front. for in this crisis
there seemed no road to peace
save through the havoc OF war.
