rm; you shall not build a war
machine of aggression; your offense against one is an offense against
all; your military invasion against one for purposes of expansion or
self-aggrandizement will be resented by all."

Until we have practical application of a world-wide police in
maintenance of the peace of nations, not alone by international
agreement, which can be broken, but by agreement and international
police-enforcement, so that it cannot be broken, there can be no
universal peace.

We are now approaching that time.

There is no more reason why aggregations of people should have the
right of murder, destruction, piracy, and pillage, than that
individuals should have such right.

This is just a simple, practical question in human advancement. The
world should now be big enough to grasp and effectively deal with it.
The true meaning of this war is, therefore, human progress: humanity
taking on larger responsibilities--the whole world answering the
question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" with a thunderous, "Aye! we are
one and all our brother's keeper, and we may well keep the peace of the
world!"

There is no question, national or international, no question of the
individual or collection of individuals, which cannot be settled by the
laws which belong in the human heart. Such laws may be called
spiritual or natural, divine or human; they are one and the same.

Moses wrote no new law on the tables of stone on Mount Sinai. The laws
were before the tables of stone, and before the creation of the
mountain itself. It was only for the people to hear and to do.

It is the same to-day. The laws of brotherhood--brotherhood of
individuals, brotherhood of nations, or aggregations of
individuals--are unchanged and unchangeable. It is only for the world
to hear and to do.

The doctrine that war is a biological necessity must go by the board.
The teaching that war is needed to harden men and nations must be
placed in the realm of pagan fiction.

If war is a necessity for man, it is a necessity for woman. If it is
good for men, it is good for children. If it is good for nations, it
is good for states. If it is good for states, it is certainly good for
cities. If it is good for peoples, it is good for individuals.

War is Hell, and from Hell. Hell may not be abolished, but it may be
regulated.

Wars may not be abolished from the human heart, but they may be
restrained from breaking forth to the destruction of
