PACIFISTS AND JINGOES
BOTH SCORED BY TAFT
Ex-President, in Baltimore for
University Speech, Hits
Peace at Any Price

BALTIMORE Feb 22.--"No right-thnk-
ing man goes to war for the love of war;
neither does he believe i'm peace at any
price but in war for a righteous cause"
Thus William II. Taft, former President
of the United States, told today how he
regards the various types of pacifists.
Mr.. Taft is in Baltimore to speak at the
Johns Hopkins University exercises this
afternoon and at the dinner this evening
of the League to Enforce Peace,
First Of ALL" said Mr. Taft, speaking
of the peace advocates, ~ am not going to
be pinned down to an exact definition of the
word pacifst, for there are too many Of
him he falls into too many classifcations.
Further am not going to differentate be-
tween the pacnst and the worker for peace
as such
Let us take the extreme case, the man
who believes in peace at any price. lie
holds that no matter what is done to him,
no matter what he suffers at another's
hands, he should submit Then, when the
other man has killed him this extreme
pacifst believes that his death will serve
as moral. and that by dying he has gained
his end. He not only doesn't believe in
preparedness, but advocates complete sub
mission. The best examples are the old
Quakers"
Next Mr.. Taft considered the type which
is now much in the public limelght.
''There is the man who holds that every
body must jump on his back and beat him
before he raises an arm in self-defense.
This Is the Bryan type. He must be Kicked
into war. He may well be called the ultra
pacifst and he shades gradually into the
extreme type who might be called the super
pacifst. He believes at the last minute a
nation is justified in going TO war and that
then and then only arms should be taken
without any preparedness.
"And next we have the peaee-loving paci-
fist who will make war In just cause.
but only when he has TO. who believes In
preparing for that war and who thinks that
only by preparedness Of the right kind can
peace be preserved"
In passing. Mr.. Taft referred to George
Washington as the greatest OF all neutrals.
