Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | June 19, 1929 issue

American pacifists do not fight hard enough. It is a mistake to assume that all who favor peace at any price are humble folk who shudder at even the violence of verbal controversy. However, it cannot readily be denied that too much humility has been mixed up in the drive against war. Organizations have been inclined to beg for peace when as a matter of fact they should demand it. The monstrous Supreme Court decision which denied citizenship to Rosika Schwimmer has aroused all too little protest. And while it is impossible to override the decision of the august body, pressure can be brought upon the President to make new appointments only from the ranks of those who are sincere lovers of universal peace.
