witha a a righteous wrath against evil eI against the brutalizing influence that militarism exerts upon ourselves darkening our view of life and treacherously fanning the fire of or fear and suspicion s through which we are led le to cause each other so s much suffering and sorrow Xo So it is primarily the economic burden of militarism that has ha opened the eyes eye of many my It I has ha been
