Udell Mbert Levy lexlm-IR 1U THE W.\ R‘S l'TUI'l.‘ To every action there is an equivalent reaction, is no less true of the laws of physics. than it is of ethics. art. or history. There is the Germany of Luther followed by the Germany of Bis- marck. the age of Pericles» by the Roman Supremacy. the early Dork Ages by the Crusades. In every case the swinging of the pendulum to the last degree of its arc is followed by the cor- responding reaction. ‘ ‘ u - “Hm. lunua rinsed through a period Now that we, as slightly tinctured by l the natural reaction t‘ breasts. is thq God‘s} Now that we, as a nation. have passeu uuuugu u w...” slightly tinctured by militarism, there are many who dream that the natural reaction to this period which is now stirring in their breasts. is the God-given instrument for ending all wars in the future, and of reversing the pattern of mankind forevermore. This is the pathetic fillacy of the pacifist mind and flourish- es mostly among those who live sheltered and sequestered livesw among women. so-called “intellectuals." professional speakers. writers. college professors. and all those who. by nature of their vocation. are removed from firstâ€"hand contacts, and from the stirring arena of those who struggle. live, and suffer. . A striking example of this attitude‘was evidenced by a re- cent woman speaker in Highland Park who so strongly assert- ed her opposition to universal military training as to call those who advocated it, traitors to their country. This was a grave accusation, and graver still the specific mention and inclusion of the National Security league in her sweeping indictment.â€"the organization which stimulated preparedness at a time when the country had committed [itself to a pacifist administration, and was drugged with the easy-going smugness of its doctrine,~the organization whose principles were indorsed by nation-wide dem- onstrations and preparedness parades. “1- --_ AA if nanin If 0“.- UIIDUI uvuvuu w..â€" We sprang to arms rovemight.

We can do it again if oc- casion demands. was the burden of her song. But those who know how France supplied our men with guns. the pitiful in- adequacy of our air service. the men who trained by thousands without uniforms or guns. the poor housing facilities. the lack of hospitals, doctors, nurses. aeroplane pilots. docks. boats. cars. raw materials. manufacturing plants, ammunition. can have even a notion of the drawbacks which accompany this "springing to arms overnight." to come in and appropriate a large share of the glory. ~ Had it: gone in when the civilized world expec d us. we should have come out a sadder and wiser nation as Eng nd has done; and like England we should now be cherishing no Utopian dreams in re- gard to “springing to arms overnight." Life. says Robert Louis Stevenson. is made up of competition and opposition â€"-even friendship is but an agreeable form of competition. How‘ can our fights then always be equal fights with a clean foe. It is not within the circle of possibilities. “Forgive your enemies?" said a father who had lost his only child on the field of honor. “Yes. but nothing is said about God's enemies enemies. Every school boy knows there will always be just fights on the playground, and every man. who has ever been a real boy. knows there will always be fights for justice so long as the pres- ent scheme enduresâ€"“both individual and national. How we de- ceive ourselves then,â€"â€"how untrue we are to that fine army of real menâ€"how false to these pioneer fathers of the American wilder- nessâ€"to the framers of the Constitution when we permit our- Hessâ€"to the framers of the ( selves to expand into this thin sentimentality. If there is anything which spirit in the dealings with our which festers at the root of th from liesure. from sentime'ntali If there is anyuung mu“. m... m“.-- -_, spirit in the dealings with our great allies. it is this pacifism which festers at the root of the body politic, which emanates from liesure. from sentimentalism. from exotic‘ intellectualism divorced from action, and from those people for the most part totally untouched by blood contact with the war or spiritual per- ception of its significance.
