A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Part 1TEN REASONS WHY WE ARE AT WARB ecause we could not longer either honorably or safely permit war to be waged against us without going to war ourselves. (1) For thirty-two months of this world war, August 1914 to A pril 1917, the United States its people and its government did their best to keep out of war. Our decision to go to war with all our might was not reached in angry haste, but after incessant discussion over nearly three years. (2) During all this time our government and the majority of our people resisted the appeals of many influential citizens and groups who insisted that for reasons here later stated, it was neither honorable nor safe for us to stay out of this war and that our most sacred ideals and obligations called upon us to enter the war with all our might against the aims and methods of Germany, A ustria, Turkey and Bulgaria. (3) In this belief thousands of speeches were made, thousands of meetings were held, thousands of editorials were written. (4) Believing just as sincerely and earnestly that our most sacred ideals and obligations called upon us to keep out of war, other citizens and groups made thousands of speeches, held thousands of meetings and wrote thousands of editorials against our going to war and for maintaining strict neutrality. (5) The reelection of President Wilson in November 1916, was generally accepted as evidence that the majority of our people opposed our going to war. (6) He kept us out of war and We are to be kept out of war were two prayers of thanksgiving which were uttered by millions of mothers and fathers on reading that the president had been reelected. Later reasons show why going to war came to seem the only right thing for us to do. ..

Présentation de l'éditeur

In Easter week of 1918 when two civilizations were facing one another over European trenches, a rural teacher wrote for information that would help her school debate the question whether Washington was a greater man than Lincoln IS uch obliviousness to the schools opportunity and obligation is not limited to one small school. Children and other non-combatants are sharing not only wars excitement and emotion, devotion and hero-worship, but also its sacrifices, its fears and its horrors. Where information or lack of information has such far reaching effects it is unfair and dangerous to leave to accident what children and college students learn about war issues, war steps, war needs, war dangers and peace aims. No nation, not even our own, can afford to run the risk of having millions of homes misinformed and confused with regard to this wars main issues. This summary of war facts is issued in the hope that it will be helpful not only in civics classes but in the hands of teachers and principals in conducting any class in any subject or in making patriotic use of assembly exercises.
