A SOLDIER AGAINST

WAR

Has there ever been a time, one wonders, when experienced soldiers themselves have had so little to say for war as they have now? Reading Lord Allenby's rectorial address to the Edinburgh students, of the with its denunciation world's war plans, its suggestion of an international police force, one is inclined to say "No." And this

It is true that the men who knew most about war, have often in the Fast "been less warlike than poll-

ticians and others who knew very little about it at all. But the soldiers' reluctance to fight has usually been due not to an abhor-

rence of war in itself or to a desire

to end it forever, but merely to

caution to the feeling that the moment for fighting had not come.
