TRUTH AND MORALS
 WARS CASUALTIES

price, The patriots argue that these low creatures should face the firing squad, or that they should be dcported to a land where abundant opportunity would be given them to mediate upon the advantages of citizenship In the land of the free It matters not whether these paci~ fists have as good right, both by birth and heritage, to be on Ameri- can soil as those who would deport them. Neither does 1t seem to mat ter that by reason of Intellectual at tainments and civic achievements they equal and oftentimes surpass those who would compel, them to face the firing squad. Because they dare oppose the war doctrines of group of super-patriots they must be driven from these shores.
 Disarmament Dangerous?
 The attitude of the patriot seems 10 be that a peace which looks to- ward ultimate disa rmament and calls for reduced budgets for the army and navy is dangerous to the best interests of the United States. Preparedness is the Watchword Of the patriot. To the huge sums now being spent on our army and navy, sums which surpass those of any other nation. he would add millions, yes. even billions, to establish our undoubted military supremacy. The facts of history which tend to prove that no nation which prepares for war goes long Wchallenged means nothing. to him. The only lasting road to peace, he says, is prepara- ton for war So he blithely goes his way, increasing the already enormous burdens of taxation to promote peace among men on a theory which has been exploded time and time again.
 More than that, he hurls his his theories into question. Let a man declare for peace and the hounds of war are baying at his heels. The lover Of peace, he who believes that a peace achieved by arbitration, eonciliation, and round table conferences would be far less costly end far more honorable than resort to war, is branded as a cow ard and a traitor and renegade.
 Price of War Too Great
 There is a very good reason why the nations of the earth no longer can play this game with the mill taIists. The price they are called upon to pay is too terrific to bear We sometimes hear it said that peace at any price is a dangerous and disgracetul doctrine. It would be well for the nations to ponder whether or not war at any price IS not the more dangerous and d1s- graceful. Certainly, as one reflects
