The population of these countries and their dependencies is approximately one billion, Should ulgaria, Rumania and Greece enter the struggle, as is likely, © fourteen million more will be added. Mexico, with fifteen ‘Million, is engaged in a bitter fratricidal strife. Portugal, ‘adding, with her colonies, fourteen million, is in the throes of ans revolution. a OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE are locked in a death} _& struggle, killing one another, as Cain killed Abel. The popu- tion of the world is 1,600,000,000. Think of it. Nearly two- irds of the entire population of the globe has been drawn into the cataclysm of death and destruction, and the end is - mot yet. i Does it mark the beginning of the end of creation? Are the bugles which shrill the ‘charge on European battlefields sounding the trump of doom? You may well ask yourself. Civilization has been sorely ‘wounded and yet may die, crucified on a cross of hate. Of the countries remaining neutral the Untted States of rica is greatest. Netherlands, with her colonial possessions, numbers 43,- 0 people, but Netherlands totters on the brink of the im. So do Norway and Sweden, with a combined popu- tion of 8,000,000, and little Switzerland, with less than Of the countries whose voice might be heard above the of the- conflict, even should they remain neutral, the ited States has half the population. And in wealth, and ence, and even strength of armed might, it is greater all combined. Then indeed are we in this hour of ss the arbiter of a world’s destiny. Shall we permit ourselves to be drawn into the vortex deci use of false ideals? Or shall we put HUMANITY first all and stand fast for ff8 sake? © A world’s civilization shall be born again in our midst the terrible struggle is once ended, and with it the that have sustained us shall be implanted in the of the world for all time—THE PRINCIPLES OF RTY, OF TRUE DEMOCRACY, OF UNIVERSAL CE. This is no time for impassioned utterance.
