Answer Three Vital Questions:

R. H. MOTTRAM, author of "The Spanish

Farm Trilogy," says:

1. I stand to-day where' 1 stood when I enlisted in 1914. I will join in and support any war I feel just 'and necessary,

and no other.

2. Yes.

I have advoented

World Disarmament on public platforms. I now advocate the | re-armument of the British Empire. I should not like to share the disgrad of abandoning those who depend on our profee- lion. Although over age, I would rather die lighting than bide be- hind men and women who bring me food at the risk of their own Byes.

3.

I should not try to influence the decision of a boy of military age, but should leave it to him.

Sigfired Sassoon.

Most of the articulate members ' of the British/public have got no further than declaring that war is hell, beastly, a crime, etc., etc. What a few said in 1914-1918, or even dared to think to them- selves, is now spread to the misses. We all know war is no good to anyone: in Europe at lenst.

But coupled with this articu- lation against war, is a general attitude of conilemnation of other nations, other governments. That is fail. It is part of war-men- tality. When à man feels self- righteous against others, then let him beware of himself. For his Idealism, his principles. are camouflaged war-mentality.

And the second question: The recent intensification is mostly Press-made; a growing conglom- erntion of war-mentality.
