Quotations

“War today is too costly, not only to the conquered, but to the conqueror as well. In destroying his enemies he destroys, at least in part, the source of his own wealth. One of the chief deterrents of war, then, is that very spirit of commercialism which is so often decried. . .” (“Industry the Peacemaker”, Pa. Arbitration & Peace Conference, May 18, 1908, p. 45; photo geni.com)
