War for Humanity

War, in good cause, is not the
greatest evil which a nation can suf-
fer. War is an ugly thing, but not the
uglist of things; the decayed and de-
graded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks nothing worth a
war is worse. When people are used
as mere human instruments for fir
ing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in
the service for the selfish purposes of a
master, such war degrades "a people.
A war to protect other human beings
against tyrannical injustice; war to
give victory to their own ideas of right
and good, and which is their own war
carried on for an honest purpose, by
their free choice, is often the means of
their regeneration. A man who has
nothing which he is willing to fight for,
nothing which he cares more about
than he does about his personal safety,
is a miserable creature, who has no
chance of being free, unless made and
kept so by the exertions of better men
than himself. AS long as justice and
injustice have not terminated their
ever renewing fight for ascendence in
the affairs of mankind, human beings
must be willing, when need is, to do
battle for the one against the other.
John Stuart Mill.
This was written half century and
more ago, but it might have been
written yesterday; it applies so well to
to days conditions. The truth is the
same yesterday, to-day, and tomorrow.
