force to check aggression the following sentence has been before me: ” the American people now in the height of their might and are no longer a sovereign majesty nation” Is from Nathaniel That sentence Peffer’s book “America’s Place in the World” which the Saturday Review of Literature calls a “stubbornly and trenchant discussion” I of the agree with that description book and believe that what Peffer says is true and that it is vital for Americans to understand why it is true Peffer says that we have lost our and our autonomy “in independence that which matters most in the life of the nation — peace or war” And then he shows with his “stubborn realism” how this has come about how in the beginning (before 1776) America “had no control over its own destiny because it was so weak now because it is so strong” And he shows clearly and conthat no matter how vincingly anxious we may be to stay out of foreign broils any major war in Euinvolve rope or Asia will eventually the United

We were drawn into a war then not of our own making but we did nothing to shape world affairs which followed and which drew us for the second inexorably time into a world conflict in which we had no direct concern It may seem a far cry from diplomatic intrigue and the vicissitudes murof human hatreds organized der- and Lust' to thd“ world of the spirit but I could not help thinking as I considered the efforts I witnessed at Nuernberg of a certain text in the Bible the words of Jesus as recorded in the gospel of St Mark (XVIII:35) “For whosoever shall save his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s the same shall save it” I am well aware of the fact that the devil may quote the Scriptures with the best of us but I do not think one has to be charged with tactics when he Mephistophelian traces a parallel between the loss of our nation’s sovereignty in the sense which Mr Peffer expounds it and the loss of our spiritual life in the New Testament sense It is needless to iterate here that the principles upon which this nation was founded derive directly Howfrom the Christian philosophy ever we have never fully lived up to that philosophy since we still feel it necessary to indulge in that highly unchristian procedure which I onc&heard the late Lloyd George as “organized savagery"— war War has always been justified as a measure of defense— defense of our citizens our territory our sovereignty We have now lost our sovereignty in that we must be willing to die to save it Let me replace the word “life” with the word “sovereignty” in the rest of the Biblical text which would then read: “Whosoever (and that means a nation as well as a person) shall lose his sovereignty for my sake and the gospel’s the same shall save it" Until America and all the nations are willing to to a highsacrifice thdir sovereignty er world organization whose tenets are with the gospel’s m war we can never proscripting in hope to win back a sovereignty accord with the Christian principles which are the foundation of our nation A former American military government man says our state department and Britain and France are keeping
