T he Christian Way Out By NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER President of Columbia University T MUST bluntly be said that a very considerable petitive nationalism went to its natural death in the I proportion of the American people, and a still great World War. If nations insist upon huge arma­ greater proportion of our representatives in official ments under the guise of self-defense, and if they look life, continue to show no real appreciation of what upon all neighboring nations as envious competitors has happened to the world or and potential enemies, war is the natural and almost of what is going on all about necessary result. These wars were not particularly them. These elements of our important when armies were small and instruments of population and these public destruction simple and of short range. As the Great officials continue to use old War showed, conditions are wholly different in these phrases, old slogans, and old respects today. Tens of millions of men are involved, rallying cries, as if these really whole continents are subject to ravage and outrage, meant something, being quite and innocent men, women and children fifty miles oblivious to the fact that they away may be sent to their death without knowing what have wholly lost whatever it is all about. Vvith airships and poison gases at the meaning they may once have disposal of combatants, another war would be far more had. destructive than the Great War showe„d itself to be.

This is the primary The economic, the social, and the political convul­ cause of the present economic, social and political sions which are shaking the whole world are without crisis. Men’s savings have in large part disappeared, a parallel in history. It is quite futile to draw curves having been burned up in the killing, the pillage, and and to make charts of how earlier depressions and the appalling expenditure which were the Great War. economic crises in the United States have developed Not only were these accumulated savings destroyed, and how they have led the way to recovery.
