MARSHAL : You talk of Non-violent fight? FIELD MARSHAL : Is it possible and practicable, sir ? MAJOR : Yes, it is. I have not the least doubt about it. I have come to know from that old Baba and from these Books and Speeches presented by him (pointing to the books,etc.). that the force of Non-violence has created wonders.

Marshal both agreeable] A SOLDIER-OPERATOR : Excuse me sir, I humbly raise similar doubt if you permit me sir... how can we imply these out-of-date and utopian means of Gandhi and his time in our to-day's far more advanced age of Space War? MAJOR : Why not? Why the wars with hatred and terrific violence? Could there be no wars without them? Could we not do it by converting our "Space Force" into a "Peace.
