If the dictator States were eliminated from Europe, if there were neither a tier, a Mussolini, nor a Stalin,” the outlook in Europe.to-day would be less intimidating than for cen- turies. So much may be admitted even by the gloomiest of the pro- phets of evil.
But Is there any adequate reason for supposing that any of this tri- umvirate of potential disturbers of the world's peace is seriously con- templating an aggressive war? In so for as they are all-equipping themselves against attack, we know wants to attack them. The only there is no danger, Nobody else peril to peace lies in the possibility that any or all of these autocrats may launch attacks on other people.

But we shall not do so if we allow our tradition of sturdy virility fo fade away into neurotic emo- tionalism. We must remember that we are an Imperial race, and be ready to prove ourselves worthy of our greater destiny.
We shall not postpone, but only precipitate, the dreaded cataclysm if we persist in allowing a noisy sec- tion of our people to advertise. the totally fallacious theory that we are a nation of abject funks, and no longer a proud and defensively com~ bative people, resolute equipped to hold our own.
