...worthwhile goal. Yet to seek it open-mouthed, like a herd of whimpering rabbits that can't see the forest for the dandelions, like the tiger-lilies that wilt away their stamen in anti-war meetings, like the parlor pussies mewing about the third international in the upper rooms of Adams House, to seek peace thusly in the modern saturnalia of all the other more valid causes of war, high tariffs, monetary friction, Father Coughlins, economic nationalism, and so on is nothing more than playing cat's cradle on a railroad crossing...
