ATREN, That justice, truth and righteousness stand paramount to the temporary saving of property, or even of human lite, is the'stand taken by General Willilam A. Aiken ini the paper which he delivered before the members of the Broadway Brotherhood at the January meeting in the church parlors on Tuesday evening. Pacifism vs. Preparedness. The meeting opened with prayer of- tered by Rev. Edward B. Worcester, pastor of the church, and then General Alken .read the following paper on Pacifiem vs. Preparedn: I fail to find a definition of “pacifism"” or “pacificism” in my dictionaries; ap- parently a freshly coined word to which the world war gives currency. 1ts fullest application is to those who write and speak from this fundamental standpoint—“War is the eum .of all evils; therefore, peace, at any price, is better.” “War is hell—therefore, of course, to be avoided, at all costs.’ The logic of that interesting writer “Norman Angel” and of the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, whose works may be found In the Otis library, lead to the above conclusions. Fortified by such convictions, the Ford band of crusaders sail out to lay their gentle hands on the embattled millions of Europe, Asia and Africa, for their Christmas enfranchisement, thus marking both the magfcal power of their love and the embeeility of belligerent kaisers, kings, chmccuon and parliements. War does indeed seem to summarize all the evil passions of human nature —while vet calling forth the highést end most unselfish attributes of char- acter. . On the whole, we hate it, and would avoid it by every honorable means. But we cannot subscribe to the doc- trine that wars are never necessary: nor that they are always an unmixed evil. Can we regret the long _years of struggle of the United Netherlands against the cruel rapacity of Philip Second? Ought Europe have meekly submitted to the yoke of Napoleon Bonaparte, without resistince? Were the American colonies wrong in resist- ing, during seven long years, the tyran- nies of George Third? Should the north have tamely sub- mitted to the doctrine that the union was but a rope of sand, and that, what. ever it was, human slavery should be its cornerstone? I think we should wnite in but one answer. The argument of Norman Angell is based on the economic wastefulness of war, in men and material; that of Rev. Dr. Jefferson, on the life and teachings | 92 Jesus Christ and his apostles. ‘The full admittance of their prem- lses almost compels their conclusions. My general answer to Angell'’s con- tention is that, in last analysis, justice, truth and righteousness stand para- mount to the temporary saving of property, or even of human life. To Dr. Jefferson I should frankly admit the ultimate doctrine of “peace and good will to men,” not forgetting, however, the clear predictions of ‘the Master ~ that “natiom should rise sgainst nation and kingdom against kingdom.” The path to universal peace was stained with His blood, and since, to this day, by that of “a noble army of martyrs.” How can it be otherwise until men are taught the lesson that might does not make right, that the “will to pow- er” is not the Christly will; that the superman is not worthy the sacrifice of all other men, and that “the state" is not the car of Juggernait under whose wheels men and women and lit- tle: children should lie down with smiling and abject obedience (or be thrust down) to dle. as during the darkest periods of our Civil war—so now there are those who cry “Peace! Peace! when there is no cipie and power in this world for gen- erations to come.

We an- nounce it officially, to the nations of the world in the most formal and dramatic manner possible, and within one day of its ennouncement we get the first echoes of European opinion through the newspapers of our best friends and those most tolerant of the “Doctrine” in the past. The mew In- terpretation they receive with grave doubts. If England doubts and ques. tions, will the Continental Powers—es- pecially Germany—be miore friendly to it? ‘Her past attitude, I think, gives us_clue to an angwer, I am compelled to conclude th peace loving as the president says we are—and as we certainly ought to be, this re-announcement of the Monroe Doctrine absolutely forces upon us the duty of prompt Preparedness. This is certain. -~ B cannot be con- troverted. The present Monroe Doc- trine is either merely a scrap of bombastic paper, or it can be inter- preted cnly in terms of ships, guns and men. For that reason It seems to me that we have no alternative but promptly to_prepare for any contingency. I think this will be the view of the majority in the present congress. The contest will come over the question of methods and extent. And it will be & serious one. Several plans for Preparedness/have already cbme to the ‘surface.
