The ,rntimrni Of the world de
| nand~ not only Il rcdUctioM of arna-
mcntS hut has made il extremely i'm
3.cbab,r that there will he another
war of any i've. No great nation
could start Il war today, simply be-
cause is could not have the support of
its people in such an enterprise.
The world war may not have settled
anything. cxccrt the fact that wars
do not settle national quarrels or
ambitions.
For that reason. as intelligent peo-
pie now see, wars are worse than
useless. They settle nothing, and they
entail vast expense and vast
amount of misery and suffering.
A people might afford to go to war
if anything were to be gained, but
the recent world war taught us that
nothing is gained.
This is the way the people every
where are looking to it, at any rate,
and this is why another great war is
extremely unlikely.
There being no likelihood of lead
ing the people into butchering each
other again, the people will insist up
on reduction of armies and navies.
This may come by formal agree
ment among the nations, or it may
come by independent action, but the
in this direction has al
ready started and it will not be
checked.
