| I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world! |
| I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. |
| I realize that advice is worth what it costs -- that is, nothing. |
| I see that old flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down. |
| I shall return. |

| It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear. |
