hand declared that no thing can justify tie repelling of force the german bernhardt would turn ploughshares into swords and the russian tolstoy would on tho contrary crush swords into plough shares a plague on both your houses say i between these optimistic and pessimistic views about the right to fight there is a third class made up of people like the rev dr meyer and the rev ncwsham taylor who lead one under the impression that they regard the present european war as some international football match with the betting on our side and with the hope that none of the play ers in the rough game will be badly hurt they and their followers in their solicitude for my welfare keep on reminding me how ill beseeming ecclesiastical lips it is to give the advice to kill germans must go on killing germans i suppose i am expected by this school of thought to exhort our troops not to kill them mr bernard shaw has reminded me that there is another way of ending the war be sides that of killing germans and that is to end it by killing english men my attitude toward the war may be summed up in a very simple syllogism it is this warfare means killing the troops fighting against you but the troops fighting against us are german therefore the war for us means killing germans about the major premise mr shaw and myself are in complete agree ment it is with the minor premise that we seem to be quarrelling it is not quite clear whether he puts eng lishmen where i put germans no doubt tho progerman puts english men where i put englands enemy so that the conclusion to be drawn from the premises depends altogether upon which side you are in the fight as it is as clear as noonday to me that wo have entered into this devas tating war with a clear conscience and clean hands i am satisfied that we must go on killing germans un til we have reached the number that will entitle us to dictate to the enemy our terms of peaco and to save europe from the tyranny the kultur of the superman with his super- state we have drawn the sword to protect the neutrality independence and autonomy of the smaller euro pean kingdoms and it is our rooted determination never to slip that sword into its scabbard again till europe is rid of its menace to liberty justice and civilization prussianism must go to the militarist then who regards warfare as the highest expression of life i say it is the worst expression of physical evil and to the pacifist who contends that nothing can justify war i reply that here are occasions when you must make use of the worst physical evil warfare in order to support some great moral cause in other words a just war means mak ing use of physical forces to seetire some great moral end let us get to grips with his qjs- tion about the rights and wrongs of warfare and let me again remind you that there is a far greater evil than war and that is sin war in its most ropellnnt aspect can never get away from its character as a phy sical evil only whereas sin is tho brand called moral evil the founder of christianity warns us not so much to fear him who can kill the body only as to fear him who can destroy the soul also in the eighteen mil lions of casualties recorded in the present scientific slaughter of tho human race not a single soul has beon necessarily hurt though that number of bodies have been hit yf i believe that this war a
