Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reasonable Direction of Force: A Plea for Investigation Before War This truth, far more than the idea that human nature cannot change and that man is by nature a fighting animal, lends strength to the instinctive morality which says we shall always have war If there is no other way of defending national rights and national liberties except by war, then, it is felt, war must be accepted. And here it may be said that the present writer accepts the first article in the basis of these pamphlets, agreeing that England, having to choose between two evils in August 1914, was justified in choosing what was perhaps the lesser evil - war. But such a choice of the lesser evil remains morally right only so long as the mind refuses to accept either alternative as really satisfactory and struggles forward to a better way.
