THE WAY OUT
“ The world wlill never cease being an armed camp until the basic elements of our present civilisation have been changed. The same holds true of the armament industry. A world which recognises and expects war cannot get along without an enterprising, progressive, and up-to-date arms industry. All attempts to attack the problem of the arms makers in isolation—by nationalisation or by international control—are almost certain to fail. The arms industry is plainly a perfectly natural product of our present civilisation. More than that, it is an essential element ir: the chaos and anarchy which characterise our international politics. The skies are again overcast with lowering war clouds, and the Four Horsemen are again getting ready to ride, leaving destruction, suffering, and death in their path. Wars are man-made, and peace, when it comes, will also be man-made.”—iH. C. Engelbrecht and F. C. Hanighen in “ Mei’chants of Death.”
