Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
