          TWO DIVERSE ASPECTS OF THE PEACE PROBLEM

consideration and treat as quite distinct two grave and complex questions:   
the guilt of beginning and prolonging the war on the one hand, and on the  
other the kind of peace and its maintenance; it is a distinction which   
naturally leaves untouched the demands for a just expiation of acts of   
  violence not really called for by the conduct of the war
