COSTS OF WAR AND PEACE
Savannah Morning News:
In Germany are 679,410 persons
who are wholly dependent on the gov. |
ernment for their support; that is(
none of them contribute more than
one-fourth' of what is necessary for
his own suport. The direct cost of
all this is'a big thing, but not the
biggest. The indirect cost, that is, thcl
loss the cduntry sustains because of|
the . fact that these hundreds of
‘thourands are not actively con
tributing .to the country's- wealth, is
a big thing, but not the biggest. The
great’ thing is that here are a tre
mendous army of persons, some of

them women, who are harvested suf
fering in all sorts of forms because
of the war. Their happiness has
been taken from them; they have
been deprived of te right to feel inv
dependent, That's what war does
in addition to cutting short, often in
terrible agony, the lives of millions.
Peace ought to be held at a very
rhigh price, It is true that it can be
held at too great a value, but war is
' 80 costly that it should be entered
_upon only as the very last resort.
And all this is a lesson that the world
finds very difficult to learn, It ir
because of this act that the Ame 'i--
' can people must be prepared to de
fend themselevs against war. The
way to do that is not to be helpless
‘ but to be strong,
