Lumen himself is an old-school radical and internationalist. He muckraked like Lincoln Steffens. During World War I he went to prison as a pacifist like Bertrand Russell, and later founded a progressive school for children. Even in his creaky 80s he flew to Biafra to organize relief for the starving...
...sale of oil by Arab countries, although we benefit from the prices established by OPEC. However, we espouse the thesis of the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States [which Mexico sponsored in the United Nations].* This is really a proposition for a world of cooperation, a pacifist document to establish cooperation between the big industrial countries and the nonindustrialized ones...
Predictably, the sword sunders Charlie's pacifist haven. His youngest son is kidnaped by the Yankees; his eldest is murdered by the Confederates under the misconception that he is a Union soldier.

It would be less hard to justify the killing of an individual, but you begin to ask what were the effects, what were the alternatives. And I think unless you are a total pacifist--well, I'm moving in that direction--what I'm definitely prepared to say is: The motives for which we have killed people, have in fact killed people, I think have not justified one single one of those killings. To say that is to say that it's a policy of murder...
