There are two ways of " remembering " the War.

Some, people when they condemn a deliberate act of remembering apparently regard it as nothing but a means of keeping the war spirit alive. But there is, of course, the other and better way, which while bestowing immortal honour on those who lost their lives in a just cause, implies that war is remembered only in order that such a terrible affliction shall never be allowed again. From this point of view it is extraordinarily undesirable to cease to observe Armistice Day till civilized Governments have ceased to talk about war as though it were an admissible and even an inevitable thing.
