Whole World Learning the Stupendous Folly of War By GERALD STANLEY LEE, Author OF course the best thing to, do is to prevent a big disaster from happening if one can, but when it happens the next best thing to do is to show what we can make out of it. MY FEELING IS THAT THE PROSPECT OP PEACE HAS NEVER BEEN SO BRIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF MAN AS IT IS TODAY. Generally when nations have learned that war was ftotile and that war didn't get things for na tions they have learned it in a rath er lonely way, one or two at a time. One or two at a time would make up their minds not to fight for fifty years or until another generation came in. But in this war all the nations arc involved directly or in directly, and they are all learning what a colossal, stupid, blundering thing it is to try to fight to get things.
