That is what people who in these remarkably hurried days find time to think—think about war. That was what was in Premier Bald- win's mind when he said, discussing the | Pact of Paris at the Lord Mayor's ban- quet: “We must either keep faith with the spirit of the pact we have signed, or in| time we must go down the steep place altogether like the Gadarene swine and perish eternally.” . . . | | On, well, none of us now living created this world, and started the human race. | It was all done before our time and our | only responsibility is that of joiners.

We have not got the motor cars tamed yet and they make too much for homicide and crime, but we have pretty well overcome distance and can beat epidemics and seem to have good practical ideas about the public health. It is true that most of the inci- dents of life seem to be under control of the management or on the way to it, so it does not seem likely that war is the one disease without a remedy.

Since men made machines and machines made modern war, have we not a right to expect that men will make something strong enough to hold it? Of course they will, but when and what? Will they make a machine that is stronger than war? The militarists want to do that. Their idea is to make military machines for their respective countries so strong and so thoroughly up to the date that nobody will dare to attack them. That is an expensive remedy, but they think it is worth the money. But we say as to that—There is some sense in your idea but not enough. We know about it for we have seen it tried.
