Abstract
Presented by Mr. Borah. "War between nations, with all its attendant horrors, has always been and is now perfectly legal. A direct attack by one nation on another, no matter how unjustified, is a legal procedure. Even the Kaiser was violating no known law by declaring war in 1914. Whatever value wars may have had in the past, these last years have shown modern war to be so terrible an instrument, so far-reaching in its destruction and the results of that destruction, that its use in our closely interdependent present-day civilization jeopardizes the very life of that situation."
