Where do you put pacifsts?" he
was asked.
I'VE need not tangle this discussion
up with abstract debates about theo-
retical pacifism.' he replied. "They
will get US nowhere. We need not
concern ourselves with denying the
necessity Of using force. massed force
II need be. in meeting an emergency.
But the war system, which Is the
issue, is not an appeal to force in
an emergency. IT Is a long drawn out
and deliberate preparation of every
known means of cruel and collective
slaughter: it is the deliberate organi-
zatlon OF the whole world upon the
basis Of separate nations armed 10 the

peal:
The mark OF greatness is TO know
where the real issues arc. For the sig
nificant questions are not 20 be found
in virulent and noisy controversies but
where men are seeking to bring in
realm OF righteousness and peace in
stead Of our old regime OF Imperialism
and war. AS for US. one by one. going
out into an age where we seem indi-
vidually so weak and futile, there is at
least this that each of us can do: we
can stop our llmping between tho two
sides. Christian brotherhood or racial
strife, the Christian God or ma
terialistic philosophy OF life. Chris
tian social and international order or
world at war--such issues are mat
ters OF life or death to humanity"
