In conclusion it declares: , ? "The absolutely vital question, there fore, for a nation on the, eve of pre paredness appear to be that mere should be in its thought no dream of conquest, no Idea of preparedness for aggression. When a great nation pre pares for war it should prepare with m conviction that it will never need to put out it strength, but it should prepare so a to be able to defend mat which is good."
