THE BURTONIAN CAN WE PREVENT WAR? By Howard Thompson, 35 Has man a contract wrth nature saymg that he shall engage rn the act of war at certaxn mtervals to rxd the world of excess populatronq Is rt but natural that men should Gght among themselves' Is the posslblllty of freedom from war but the fragment of a dream7 At first the answers seem to be yes Man has fought smce the begmnmg of history Birds and beasts are constantly at war w1th one another In the fall the deer the moose, and other ammals don therr war pamts they become mad wxth rage and start out to find someone to fight wrth to live or to dre Others are of a slrghtly different nature they lull thelr rnferxors simply for the zest of kllllng Does man fight for the dangers and thr1lls It affords ClNll1Z1t10H eradlcated thls characterlstlc many years ago but yet war goes on Why? It IS a common thought that thrs lnhuman practlce IS resorted to simply as a means of scttlxng disputes between countrles Are dxsputcs settled in thls manner Hrstorys answer rs The arguments are srmply quleted, put away for the time belng stored xn the mrnds of two or more countrres only to arrse agarn w1th renewed vrgor once the clouds of horror have partly passed over the horizon These are but statements of facts The mass of the people realrze these condltlons yet they are almost wxllmgly led rnto confhct once the fire IS started They are unorgamzed, rushmg madly on to lrwe or dre They are the ones who should decnde the quesuon of war How are they to accomplrsh th1s7 The causes of war must be located and done away wrth Thus problem must be dealt with on an rnternatronal scale To pornt to any one country, or group of countrres as the root of war 15 an nnpossrhrlrty The real cause rs in the form of a paradox No one, yet everyone rs dlrectly to blame War IS berng encouraged on every srde War stxmulates busnness and rn turn bus1ness strmulates war Every bus1ness trres to mcrease 1ts trade to the hrghest prtch and rn dorng so IS unconsciously turning the rudder of the world toward eonfllct How?
