Think Seriously Now

In this war business it looks like
we are either in or out. If we keep
propagandizing for war, doing all we
can to aid the one side, get our ships
into danger zones, and in so doing
creating incidents, the probabilities
are we will be in the shooting. It
it difficult to be so strong for one
side and yet remain out of the war.
The on-interventionists are against
Americas entry and say so frankly.
They are criticized by those who still
think that war settles much and
therefore want America involved, but
state it mildly by saying that they
are deeply concerned and would be
terribly grieved if we should enter.
If they would be grieved by Americas
entry in the war would it then not
be well to give serious consideration
now against going along with the war
crowd?
Let us not be so innocent in this
war business. Going along will be
very, very costly to say nothing of the
