Excerpt from Education for Democracy If things are not made better after this war the prospect will be darker than ever. Darker because the condition of the world will have grown so much worse that the recurrence Of like calamities will have been recognized as a thing to be expected and the causes of those calamities as beyond all human cure. Rather let us strive that all the suffering this war has brought, and all the sacrifices of heroic lives it has witnessed, shall not have been in vain. James bryce, Essays and Addresses in Wartime, chap. V, p. 183 Why then should a State shrink, in the name Of honor, from giving guarantees for its rectitude of conduct? Why should it not be willing to submit the question of what is honorable, in given circumstances, to those who can fairly measure its aims and motives, and await a verdict?
