IF THERE WERE AN INVASION
Sir,— Reading the many letters on “Gas Horrors and War,” I was very amused at the vain attempt of “Commoc Sense” to find an argument in favour of war. His last effort expresses unrestrained joy at discovering that he has some few backers in bis wilderness. Fancy this person trying “to enlighten these narrow-minced antimilitarists”—especially those who went to the last war! He asks an<: answer* a query as to what we should do if the Japanese or the United State* invaded our shores. Well, to be qu te candid, we would be wise not to resist, unless we preferred to be blown to pieces. Slogans will not save us from poison gases, disease gents, bomb-shells, and other atrocities, which hypothetical fools like “Common Sense” incite by their inverted attitude toward the problem of peace. A* one who fought, and suffered, I <an conscientiously say now that I thoroughly admire and respect those who have the intellect and courage to oppose anything that savours o? war. including such simpering persons a* “Common Sense.** VOLUNTEER.
