We have learned from the World
War that modern warfare Is terrible,
and we know, should another war
be declared, that il would be war of
determination, for scientists are
everywhere working TO invent destruc-
tive machinery as that mentioned
above. and machinery which will coun-
ter-act other destructive machinery.
There Is but one alternative: namely
that the world by agreement make
war against war. in order that much
sorrow may be avoided and eiyiliza-
tion may not suffer.
