KEEPING OUT OF WAR

Commenting remarks of American col
ege professor responsibility for World War; To-
ronto newspaper makes this impressive protest:
'It is remarkable phenomenon that so many other
wise intelligent people, both here and in Britain have
developed in the years which have elapsed since the
Armistce apparent disposition to regard the war
as mistake which might and ought to have been avoid
ed. and mistake which they could countenance
again. 1t cannot be sufficiently emphasized that such
view rests upon moral or rational foundation, and
that given precisely the function of circun-
stances the British people, in which include Canada
and the empire, would have alternative choice
sistent with honor and righteousness and for the main
tenance Of these in national life there can be no price
too high"
Many Americans today inclined to speak in sim
lar fashion of the entrance of the United States into
the war, evidently assuming that country could
nave kept out, would have kept except for the
less accidental wful action of this or that
person or group.
The fact is probably that participation in the
: war, as It developed almost as inevitable as
Great Britans 1t seemed inevitable then, to an over
whelmlng majority of Americans, and nothing but
forgetfulness now will pronounce it otherwise Not
physical necessity but moral necessity, represented in
national state Of mind drove in.
Unless human nature has changed nlarvellously all
at once, it will probably be the if another great
war ever develops. The thing to do is to stop com
planning about the past and try shape things so as
to prevent the start of another
