Modern Review March 1931

1931

Formerly the actual work of fighting was confined to the trained warriors the braves among the savages the soldiers among the civilized nations the rest of the population the civilians women and children held aloof. [...] What was originally a mere animal instinct the law of the forest and the primitive savage was raised to the sanctity of a divine commandment Not only have the strong preyed upon the weak.at all times but the law of retaliation was clothed with holy sanction. [...] Founded upon the violation of all primary principles and the elementary rights of all men these kingdoms and empires set up the apotheosis of cant and sicken gods and men with their sanctimonious professions of justice the sanctity of law and their anxiety for the well-being of the people placed is their power. [...] Even without the perils of the deep and the contingency of being drowned like imprisoned rats the ordinary limit of a galley slave's life was about a year for the work killed him with the certainty of slow torture. [...] It would have made no difference to the history of the world if the science of war had been left where it was in the time of the Romans the Goths and Huns.
