Signs of the Times

with contributions from Coolidge, Edward S. Martin, George A. Coe

[The Tacoma Ledger, as quoted in the Literary Digest, New York, New York]

Deprive warlike nations of cannon and rifles, and they would still fight, even though armed with bows, spears, and slings. It is not the ability to secure arms that causes wars, but rather the will for war. When the peoples of the world have become firmly convinced that war does not pay; that it is cruel, wicked, and wasteful, then there will be a chance for universal peace. Whenever the statesmanship of the world is devoted to the ironing out of international differences around the council table, rather than upon the battle field, then there will be an end of war. Limitation of the manufacture and sale of war munitions will never bring peace.
