Statesmen might see difficulties, but
the people could see none and could
brook no denial. A war III which they
had been bled white to beat the ter
ror that lay concealed in every bal

victory Of arms and new balance. The
monster that had resorted to arms
must be put in chains that could not

nations must put a stop to aggre ssion,
and the world must be given peace.

there must be another ana a final war
and the world must he swept clean of
every mower that could renew the ter
