Excerpt from International Good-Will as a Substitute for Armies and Navies Lovers of peace in these days have much to be thankful for, but they have little reason for believing that their hopes are close to fulfilment. While the situation to-day is tragic, the mere paradox of it is interesting. The ex President, whose jest about the Spanish War was that there was not enough of it to go round, and whose per manent sermon, ringing over the land, has had for its text, In time of peace prepare for war, and whose principles, could they be embodied in bronze, would set up in the Capital a statue of Jesus armed to the teeth, and still called the Prince of Peace and Good-will, - this ex-president is the same of whom it was truly said that he sheathed the swords of a million men by the treaty he brought about on the island in Portsmouth Harbor, and who won the Nobel peace-prize for his feat, and who, if I remember aright, devoted his prize, the to plans for the conciliation of Labor and Capital. Roosevelt represents, within the bounds of his own personality and action, the peace-and-war paradox of the time in which we are living.
