They loo out from a coy room and
see the skies enwrappsd in gloom, and
groan because they may get damp

his comrades dying groans. the cold is

well described III Prof. Gilbert

Roughly. it is this choice between
q life without war or a life with

that 1t was for o5r W good that
Nature kept her secrets from US.
We have learned in the last four
years perhaps tina most terrible Of
her secrets-that anything that

for a simultaneously we have
abolished space, and nations like
our own have ceased to live on ISL

either war or never allow
ourselves to forget it. The mere
preparation that each nation would
make in order to be ready for
every kind of surprise would be
so costly as to leave us no time
or money for anything else. We
should all become the slaves of a
universal terror. giving 1t the serv-
ice Of our minds and our hands,
and heaping up our treasure for its
Unsuitable appetite. Some people
