PRESERVING PEACE.
Sir,—lt is often put forward as an argument in fnvonr of compulsory military training "that tlfe best way to preserve the peace is to prepare i'or war." Now, I would like to ask those who believe that fallacy how they account for all past wars, which could not have taken place if they had not been prepared for. If they said "that the best way to get war is to prepare for it," I think they would be nearer the mark. The armed man or the armed nation, far from being a guarantee of the peace, is a constant menace to the peace, as all history proves. —I am, etc., < aw. . April 13.
