Massacres, Famine
In Wake of War

AS the confIagration spreads forces are set
in motion which must entirely disrupt the old
order all over the world. 1t has become a
truism TO speak Of this war as world revou-
ton. but few realize the Implications OF this
fact.
In conditions Of general warfare and uni
versal misery and want, when the social fabric
is torn to shreds and the economic mechanisms
of modern life cease to function, anarchy and
revolution, starvation and massacres must re-
suit
Not the humane liberal and progressive rev
olution which liberal socialists still dream OF,
but revolutions Of maddened and desperate
peoples following ruthless leaders and destroy
ing all civilized values as they have been de-
stroyed in the U.S.S.R. and Germany.
The last war produced the twin evils OF
Bolshevism and Nazism. MORE war will pro-
duce MORE of the same evil, and destroy in
mems bodies and hearts and minds the basis
for the democratic values we desire to preserve,

War Bights Mind
And Spirit of Men

To say that the war must 60 on however
faint the chance Of victory; that even if 1t en-
tails the starvation Of the French, the Belgians,
the Poles, the Norwegians, the Dutch and the
Greeks, the devastation Of England and OF the
Continent, peace is not to be thought OF, Is to
ignore the effect Of starvation and despair
upon the minds and spirits Of men. 1t is to he
so blinded by hatred and emotion as to forget
that ends cannot be separated from means.
Perhaps IL is an unconscious realization
Of these truths, rather than any other single
factor. which hold back the American people
from participation in the war as belligerents.
The last war having resulted in the destruction
OF the economic and social basis for democracy
over all Europe east Of the Rhine, there is an
underlying distrust among the American
people a. to the possibility Of saving democracy
by once again sacrificing their young men in
Europes wars.
This distrust IL at odds with the American
desire to save the England they and their
ancestors have loved and hated so well. The
desire TO save both England and democracy
conflicts with appreciation Of the truth uttered
by the late Lord Lothian:
1.-THE lesson Of the last war Is that we
get neither democracy, nor liberty, nor
peace out of world war, however noble the

To sag that Britain and america

To maintain that National Socialist Eu-

Germans do not cease TO treat the conquered

them by consent instead OF by compulsion,

The low level Of productivity of the U.S.S.R. is
a proof Of the inefficiency OF forced labor in
