But the experience of 1917 throws some light on the hypothetical situation, and one of the main contributions of "Taps" lies in its vivid picture of the frenzied, gullible, and fanatically intolerant state of mind in which the nation went to war. The testimony of "Taps" shows once more that the only time for an individual to make a rational decision about war-resistance is in the months of peace.

The banking Jews plot to make the new state which is to rise in the Gobi into a capitalist nation. The Communist Jews insist that all property be pooled. The Socialist Jews do not know what they want. And the liberal Jews are occasionally wounded in trying to keep the Socialists and the Communists from killing each other before they have even reached the new Promised Land. Mr. Nathan seems to be protesting that there...
