ticular discussion under way. As a
matter OF fact no war in which We
have ever been engaged has been
brought on by n military man. All
wars have been the result OF tho in
ability OF our civil authorities to come
to an agreement with the civil authori-
tiesties of our adversaries. When as
the result OF conferences. diplomatic
notes and arguments. our civil au-
thorities have failed to come to an un-
derstanding with those OF another
country. and when az the result. dlplo-
matte relations have been broken. then

been called upon to take hand In the

"The point is that in our country
all wars are brought on by those in

has been declared have military men

clusion that the time has arrive,
when justice and righteousness ar,
