NIGHTMARE OF WAR

(Continued from Page 6.)

worked to explain to those who had I remained at home just what this horror was. The novels and the playa have passed before us, Wa looked at the gruesome pictures and shuddered. But no one really | understand. * No one really learned anything. The artists were at- tempting the imposalble. They were trying to translate a night- mare into the realms of actuality. Naturally they failed, as signally na did those who sought, to bar their windows against a second. visit of the terror.

Any soldier who served through any of the major engagements in [the World War will agree with me that in looking back now the ple ture of those days is misted with Uurcality. Let him try, If he does not agree, to put his memories in- to actual word He will Ind then that it cannot be done. He may enuse a few shudders. But in the telling he will realize his inability to convey anything of the distorted picture which he may conjure up in his own thoughts. This present. is one plane of ex- istence. War, which is flat denial of every cultural and ethical principle that has contributed to our present civilization, is a totally. different one.

For example, let us glance back through the pages of history. Let us choose an isolated page of events which convulsed the world, however briefly. The Inquisition, comes to mind. No doubt in those days there were those who strug- gled to open the wyes of their fel. Jow men to the horror of the system. They failed because the confused majority believed In the necessity of doing evil that good might come of it. This confused thinking resulted in a nightmare of torture and cruelty-but is not war of the same stuff?

The parallel of the Inquisition is truer than one might at first be inclined to admit. There were those who believed that by torture and suffering men could be forced to embrace the true religion and their souls thereby be saved. But is not the belief in war based upon the same fallacy? We have be- ieved that. through murder, through such wholesale torture as the Inquisition never knew, był cruelty and barbarity, wrobga and. inequalities might be righted.

Now, us we look back, we see clearly that the Inquisition was based on a condition of thought. I was in fact, an unreality that gained credence. The Inquisition Dussed with the growing appre- hension of liberty, justice and in- telligence. Men woke from the dream that was the basis of the Inquisition's horror, and it passed into-history-as-a-dream-of-terror through which the world has long since passed.

If we had not seen that and recognized it clearly we to-day might be calling international eon- ferences at which the experts would solemnly declare which in- struments of torture might legally be used, and what form of religion a man must embrace to escape the altentions of the torturers,

But, because we have not yet Jelassified war as another phase of the same distorted dream, we still debate and argue as to what weapons may legally be used when next we experience the nightmare, This is the dead weight that mankind carries in its struggle Lovard peace. We desire to escape the nightmare under certain con- itions. We are ready to give up jeverything except the belief that we may awake from the nightmare with something tangible in our granz

In this state of unreason we call ronferenees and send our delegates and ambassadors. To our dismay the conferences full. We cry out in our bitterness as we watch the evasions, the indecisions and blun- derings of the conferees. Yet what else can we expect? These agents, in their confusion, but re- flect the thinking of those whom they serve

Thus it becomes increasingly clear that disarmament is like every other problem-an individual one. If we ourselves believe in the nightmare, can we expect others to awake? If we insist on the locks

and shutters, can we complain that the windows and doors of others remain locked and bolted? The fierce dogs that we keep in our yard for strictly de- fensive purposes may appear atar- ingly offensive to our neighbours. all of these things are but evidences that we eling to the reality of the dream.

We send our ambassadora and delegates to work under the dark poll of shadows that guns and war- ships throw across the conference chamber, and wonder why the re- sulta aro unsatisfactory. As If every one of us did not know that true disarmament is the disarm- ing of the fears and suspicions of others through our own mantTest good will and sincerity,

So it is as an old soldier who was sont out once and might con- ceivably to called upon once. mora that I watch the struggle of the nations to avoid a cñtäclyam that no one wishes to experience,
