MEEK ANTI-MILITARISM.
We are not opposed to the passive resistance method of opposing certain tactics of the powers that be, but cannot refrain from remarking that those anti-militarists who criticise the actions of certain rebellious resisters of the act, and who arc opposed to any active resistance whatsoever, < don’t cut much ice with their argument that militarism is wrong, because it tends to destroy peace, and that militant anti-militarism is also wrong for the same reason. The only argument against violence in resistance of any act of tyranny is that it might not pay. The antimilitarist who threatens to pull down a drill shed or commits sabotage does more to repeal the act than all the talk of the “ peace” men.
