it meant to all regular officers" Col.
Robinson declared. 10y that it was
all over, sadness and sorrow at the
awful price in precious lives that had
to be paid. 1t brought a hope of bet
ter understanding among the nations
to the end that there might be more
boundaries like that between the
United States and Canada-unfortified
for it's entire length.
"It did not mean that wars were at
an end or over for all time, because
there is no guarantee against errors
in human judgment or the violence of
human passion. The success of the
allied powers and the United States,
however, should stand as an historical
signpost along the highway of time,
warning future generations that an
enlightened world will not bow it's
head and meekly accept an imperial
dictatorship.
Therefore, it meant that while
wars will surely come in the future,
nations will hesitate longer. They
will be more lenient in dealing with
each other and it will be harder to
bring about war;"
