To Escape Utter Destruction, We Must Do Away With War, June 20, 1919

From the editorial page of the Brevard News, Friday, June 20, 1919

War is not what it used to be. Science has made it unutterably destructive and would make the next one annihilating. To escape the destruction of civilization, there must be no more war. The League of Nations points the way to peace; such a league is a compact against war. The world needs a compact of that kind and the American people will register approval of the efforts of President Wilson to secure it. The same, but it should not be a bird of American eagle might not be the prey.
