PROVOCATIVE COMMENTS
CONCERNING WARFARE
FACING FACTS
BY "SCRUTATOR"
Every intelligent individual must decide how he can beat serve his nation, and his decf- sion, to be valid, must take into consideration: the exigencies of peace and of war. The pacifist-and- the militarist have each definitely decided, but the bulk of the population of modern states are still comparatively mindless and certainly thoughtless on this great question, Let us
consider some
of the facts, for militarist jingoism is just as obnoxious to the thinking man as is pacifist sentiment- ality.

Even the “Fortunate,” to whom escape is possible, must find protective coverings from all known types of gas, and so far there is no such material known to the human brain.

What then must happen? With- out means of defence there is only one method of salvation according to the militarist point of view. This has been adequately expressed by Divisional Colonel Gerlach of the Swiss Army The rapid *and
complete annihilation of the hostile
power is essential for the preser Vation of the State, the simultane- ous destruction of one's own army would, if unavoidable, not be too high a price to pay for such a result."
THE QUESTION
More than ten years ago General Sir Reginald Hart took pains to inform the British people that in any future war, large cities and extensive areas with women and In every country where such
children would be wiped out In work is carried on, the reason pre-
