In many uni- versities throughout tHe country during the last few days peace rallies have reemphasized this fact. This is a wholesome sign. And it doubtless is typical of American public opinion as a whole, for opposition to entry into war is nearly universal. But neither the demonstrations in the colleges or any | other major signs of pacifist sentirhent need be in- terpreted as an unwillingness to fight in a just cause. Those who have seen the parades of young men who do not want to become cannon-fodder and fear for the safety of the country might well Conside)“ the experience of other nations. France was the most outspoken pacifist country in the world in the | late 1920's and early 1930’s. | Its labor unions, teachers, and peasants were| rather uniformly pacifist, countless thousands of them taking sundry oaths not to fight nnybody's! war. But when the test came last Sepember, there | was even less opposition to war than in 1914. | In England only a few years ago large numbers of university men committed themselves to absolute | pacifism. Today the number of conscientious ob- | jectors is very small, and these are deftly shunted | into civilian war work quite as necessary as fight- ing. Germany, on the other hand, had no signm-‘ cant pacifist movement after the early 1930's. War gorified in the pliant minds of German youth. | at least as much popular xeluctance‘ to go to war in Germany as in the Allied countries. | It would seem from the record that the adver—‘ tised attitudes of young men in advance of a war| crisis do not have very mmch to do with their readi- | ness to take up arms when the actual necessity for | fighting comes. Certainly the determination to stay out of war is not in itself evidence that the country’s youth would evade their patriotic duty once they | are persuaded that the nation’s most vital interests and security are at stake. Ltn\()r\hlp in Holland (New York Times) The great newspapers of the Netherlands have long been outstanding for their accuracy, their re- straint and responsibility in editing and pubhs}um, the world’s news. They have kept their fine in- | tegrity when many papers elsewhere were being poisoned with distortion and propaganda. It comes as a shock, therefore, to read that freedom of the press has been suspended territory and that military censorship will be estab- lished. The object, apparently, is to strike at ex- tremist papers which were perfectly free until now to undermine Holland's resistance to German pres- | sure. But the new censorship order also forbids | “one-sided news of belligerents” in headlines or “the | stressing of any item of news more than it deserves.” If this means that soldiers’ bue-pencils are to sup- plant editors’ judgment, if official fear of Germany is to prevent Dutch newspapers from presenting the issues of this war without fear or favor, then an- other light in Europe will go out, and all the world will be the loser. Head of First Voters League says this year's election may be “the most important in American history.” Every one is, or at least seems to be at the time.
