THE WORLDS ONLY CHANCE.
From the Manchester Guardian.
In a world largely controlled by
fanatics, dreamers, and impossible
lists, the one thoroughly practical
policy is that Of the League of Ma
tons Union, which has just opened
its summer school at Oxford. To
most sober, matter-of-fact people
the Great War and its results have
made it clear that the survival Of
everything which we most value in
England and in Europe depends
now on the non-recurrence Of war.
The illusion that war can be a
means Of national profit is dead
we are slowly learning that we can
not even get our costs paid by a
beaten enemy without having our
trade ruined by the payment. The
illusion that war is q school of
character is dead-never in our
time has there been so wide q fail
ure Of common honesty in England
as the records Of "pilferage" have
shown since the war; never has dis

ease due to uncontrol been SO
frightful a national danger. The
illusion that war permanently tight
ems comrIdeship within a nation is
dead-never before has bitterness
between classes reached SO perilous
an intensity. War as a means to
anything great, noble, or precious,
beyond its own immediate object of
escaping violent conquest BY 9TH
ers, Is as bankrupt before the world
as tire or plague. It's casualties to
both winner and loser are seen to
be not merely losses in life and
limb and money but losses in char
acter, IN intellect, in every part of
civilization. Divested by closer
contact Of all the delusive glamour
that sentimentalism has shed about
1t, war is seen to be nothing less
or more than the most horrible and
degrading Of occasional necessities,
and the only policy worthy of sane
and practical men and women is to
make 1t be never a necessity again.
Events have shown the enthusiast
for war as a bracing moral exer-
else, q temperer of the steel Of a
nations fibre, to be the widest Of
cranks, the most impracticable of
faddists; and now that theawhole
trend Of future warfare is towards
greater preponderance Of wholesale
progressive debasement by the
poisons and lying propaganda
among its weapons, the fad must
constantly grow more hollow and
less reputable. The only common
sense policy is to enroll the forces
Of sanity and decency in all nations
in q joint endeavor TO get the world
out Of its foolish and wicked old
dream about wars nobility and
utility. Probably an enormous
number Of people, certainly most
ex-soldlers, have got some hold Of
this truth. The League Of Nations
Union are acting upon it, and ev.
eryone who has grasped Il himself
should give a hand to the Union.
