In a speech at the American Legion state convention Congressman McCollister urged against cutting defense spending while arguing fear drives conflict. The piece criticizes militarism after World War II and links U S power to increased enmity, urging peace and a halt to endless war and weapon buildup. It reflects on nuclear era paranoia and urges end to Vietnam conflict and a shift from force to diplomacy.
