 The English people engaged in this
 war because they believed it to be a
 righteous war, that they were fighting for Christian cause, namely to re- deem Belgium. The Germans believed
 they were also fighting for a righteous
 cause, the defense of the fatherIand
 They believe that the war was forced
 by Russia's mobilization and that the
 fatherland was menaced. The horrors
 of this war are appalling, the men are being drugged to dull their sense of honor in fighting. Men who refuse to fight, not out of cowardice, but out of principle, are tortured and imprisoned MT Richards said that if war is believed to be the only solution to a menacing evil, men should go to war. He states the progress of man in three
 stages. First, the failure Lh fight
 through ftar: second, fighting in ven
 geance; third, conquering through the
 spirit of love- Wales has not been
 conquered by England. In fact, Wales has conquered England The spirit of her people has conquered the spirit of the conqueror. am against prepared
 ness Men of this generation cannot be forced to go into aggressive war fare. You do not prepare to defend your country but your policy: there fore, adopt a friendly policy with all nations and there will be no need for defense.
