Do you prefer peace? Do you think the best interests of the United States will be conserved by avoiding active participation in a con- flict?" Almost every person in this republic including the president vice president ' cabinet members and state officials as well as generals and military experts will answer these queries in the same way and in practically the same words All arc opposed to war as a means of settling disputes or asserting rights All prefer peace in which honor freedom and self respect are recognized and maintamed All feel that the best interests of any people can be best conserved by avoiding active participation in war "Let us have peace" said one of the most belligerent generals of the United States at the beginning of the conflict between the states General Ulysses S Grant considered 'a "warmonger" threequarters of a century ago declared: "I have never favored war except as a means of securing peace" The same thought was expressed by George Wash ington when he said: "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace" But preparations are futile when an army a group or a nation concentrates on building Maginot lines of defense or arming against invasion while doing nothing to check the insidious approach of a ruthless and resourceful foe or to pre vent strangulation by encirclement Even Andrew Jackson the fire-eatof a former epoch of internal turbulence repeatedly called for peace and unity all things" he declared "peace desired but blood must some- spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms" Douglas Jerrold bequeathed to hu- Inanity this worthy tribute to peace: "We love peace as we abhor pusillanimity but riot peace at any price there is a peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body chains are worse than ) -
