There are those who say the world requires wars in order to keep the population down. Leave that to nature. There are always epidemics to decimate the population. Nature looks after her own interests in her own way.

Do not think, you who read this, that we are slackers or cowards. We have all done our bit, and it is just that which makes us realize, on getting over to this side, how futile the sacrifice was; and we do not want the same sorry business to happen all over again for our loved ones.

We who know can, and do tell you, you are not fighting for your country, but for a handful of men who will profit out of the war. Your country will not profit by it! Be assured of that. There will profits be made, vast profits; but those profits all go to certain individuals. Are you so blind that you cannot see that?

That last war was not a decisive victory, and you have not even yet got over its resultant effects. Your governments are still in a chaotic state; not one of the countries involved in that holocaust can be said to be in a peaceful, prosperous condition. Crime is rampant, work is scarce, business is bad, and yet the idea of a new war is strong and ever working within the hearts of those who will profit by it at the expense of their fellowmen.

How do we know? Because if we care to, we can look into and read their minds; and those who wish war are stealthily, secretly pushing that thought into your consciousness, so that in masse you give out war thoughts and vibrations—and then those thoughts will become concrete—become a fact!

If only you knew the vitalizing power of thought! But we suppose you do not take any notice of the biblical saying that, “As a man thinketh, so is he.” There never was a truer saying.

If the papers and certain men had not communicated the thought to one another until the whole world was talking and thinking depression, do you think the depression would ever have been as bad as it was? You brought three-fourths of it on yourselves by talking about it, hugging the idea until you created most of it; and then not satisfied with that, you kept it around you by continuing to look on the dark and gloomy side, going about with unhappy faces and shutting optimism and hope out of your hearts.
