Opinion of M PARIS, Jan. 10.—(L ‘nited Preis. )—Final ratifica- tions of the treaty of Versailles here late this after- noon, will not forever banish war from a weary world, Marshal Foch warned, in an interview today. “It would be foolish to believe there will be no more war, merely because we do not wish to fight,” Foch declared. “France and the world must draw a lesson from the struggle we have just finished, It must bea lesson of prudence, with best good will. “War is not always avoidable. It can begin upon the frontiers of the most pacific peoples—perhaps it begins first in such places. “If it is true two are necessary to make a fight, it is equally true the one best prepared will win. “I know this statement may seem obvious, but that very question is causing great discussion nowadays. There are ingenious people who believe that to leave the key in the door is the surest way to prevent en- trance of thieves. “I think it wiser to be ready for any unfavorable events.” War no longer may be called an “art,” Foch de- clared. Itis a science and an “industry.” “War will be evolved indefinitely as long as there are people to for tt; 7 tinued. “Those who wish to avoid violence cannot af- ford to ignore anything in the way of scientific and industrial progress.
