only when war is inevitab BILE and that
nations have no right to go to war
without divulging to the other na-
tions the reasons for going to war.
Continuing, he said:
In the face OF war the rattle of the
watchmsn Is of no use nor Is a council
Of the now warning nations. which is
without force, but what is needed is a
deterrent that will prevent a nation or
government from going into a war that
Is not inevitable. Peace can be secured
only by combination of nations
Such combination cannot be formed
unless the United States is ready to be-
come a member and take a leading part
In 1t, but this cannot be done until the
last drop of blood has been shed in suf-
tering Europe"
