6 THE' OZARK WESLEYAN COLLEGE BULLETIN will spend the month of August in preparation for the work of the acad- emic year. 1 This is a pictorial Issue We are running in this issue a number of cuts of the college build- ings and scenes and the stranger who has never visited Carthage will be able to get some idea of the very fine buildingin which the college is doing its work. . College Print Shop For the past several years the Col- lege Print Shop has been housed in a building adjoining the boys dormitory on the campus but it is now ,being moved into the basement of the col- lege-building where a fine space has been excavated and concrete flooring set. The print shop under Mr. J. L. McKeehen'is becoming an important department of college service. Six youngmen are being kept busy dur- ingitheir spare hours out of school under Foreman McKeehen. This de- partment not only supplies work for thesestudents but enables the college to do its printing more expeditiously and economically than under other circumstances. p- .An Epociai Proposal g up From the standpoint of humanity and civilization all waris an assult up- on the stability of human society and should be surpressed in the common interest. The government of the Unit- ,ed States desires to see the institu- tion of war abolished and stands ready to conclude with the French, British, Italian, German, and Japanese gov- ernments a single multilateral treaty open to subsequent adherence by any and all other governments, binding the parties thereto not to restort to war with one another. These words are taken from the Kellogg proposal to the government of France last February. Here .is a clear-cut, unambiguous, and uncondi- tional offer on the part of the govern- ment of the United States tojoin with the government of France in tender- ing to the civilized nations of the earth a treaty outlawing the institution of war. Qualifying adjectives and reser- vations are conspicuous by their ab- sence from this proposal. The Uuited States government makes a bona fide offer so simple, so far-reaching, and fundamental that it deserves the ap- plause and support of peace lovers and people of good A will throughout the world. r The Kellogg proposal is notia pro- posal to abritrate. It simply proposes to outlaw the institution of war. It does not attempt to distinguish be- tweenwars of aggression and wars of defense. As Mr. Ponson by tersely put it in aspeech before the British Parliament: The myth of aggression keeps the war game going. As a matter of fact the only valid defini- tion of an aggressor nation is: An aggressor nation is the nation you are at war with. Every nation partici- pating in the World War insisted and still insists that it was a fighting war of defense. To outlaw only one kind of war would be as absurd as it would have been to outlaw aggressive duel- ing instead if dueling itself. Mr. Kellogg's note recognizes that war in and of itself is barbarous and should be illegalized by nations of peace-loving people. It says in effect that even if diplomacy, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial procedure all fail, the covenant-making nations shall not attempt to settle any inter- national disputes by force of arms. Nothing will advance the efficacy of the method of arbritration of interna- tional disputes as will the absolute re- nuciation of the institution of war.
