RUTHLEsSNESS IN WORLD WAR HAS
KEPT NATIONS BITTER

Ask any informed man what is the chief
cause Of the present unrest in Europe and
he will tell you that 1t is the injustice and
the stupidity of the postwar treaties.
Ask him why, this being so, the treaties
can't be revised, and he will remind you
that the mutual suspicious and resentments
bred by the war make it impossible.
These two questions, then, will bring
you down to one of the most peculiar and
dangerous factors in modern life-the
change that has come over the way in
which nations wage war nowadays, and
the price that has to be paid for it.
The World War differed from its pre-
decessors not only in the fact that more
countries and more soldiers were involved,
but also in the fact that 1t was waged in a
different spirit.
The old restrictions on the desire to hurt
ones enemy fell away. 1t speedily devel-
oped into a fight in which, as they say of a
bar-room brawl, anything went.
No longer was the man in arms the sole
target. Defenseless cities were bombed,
over and over again, by both sides. Wo-
men, children, old men and invalids were
slain, as well as soldiers. Merchant ships
were sunk without warning. Blockades
were adopted, so rigorous that they con-
demned thousands upon thousands of nom
combatants to malnutrition, disease, and
death.
Not since the world began to call itself
civilized had there been so vicious a kind
of fighting as was adopted between 1914
and 1918. There were no fouls. Every
thing was permissible.
Things that would have mortified the
whole world if they had been done in
earlier wars were were taken as a matter
of course.
1t was only natural that that kind of
war should leave people with a greater
heritage of bitterness and suspicion than
previous wars bequeathed them. When
the bitter experiences of four years teach
you to look on your enemy as a fiend in
c~arnate, you don't forget about it over
night.
For years to come he remains the man
who bombed hospitals and starved chill
dren and carried the wal into your back
yard. And if you beat him. and the peace
treaties make him suffer-well, you're not
inclined to be very soft-hearted about it.
This unquestionably explains much Of
the reluctance of the victorious nations to
consider a revision of the treaties. And
