Best Security Against War
BE PREPARED
We are passionately devoted to peace as the members of the Peace Society, and shrink with as much loathing from the horrors of war. But while all the powers and -treas* ures of nations continues to be the pawns of greed and ambition, while money remains the world's übiquitous and despotic ruler, the most honoured ideal of the peoples, the standard reward for the highest service, the supreme prize which all men are incited and encouraged to covet, to scheme for, to lie for and to fight for, we are convinced that the best becurity against war is to piepare for it, to increase the cost and risk of it, to minimise its chances of profit, to distribute the burdens and perils of it over the largest possible number of participants.—A. M. Thompson in the "Clarion."
