Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided between an opening statement 1 and a closing statement 6. The four statements are jumbled up and form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these six taken together.
1. Preventive war, or the making of war in order to keep the peace, has served in its turn both nations and tyrants as reason or pretext.
A. They always speak in terms of 'our peace, that is, the peace that we want, our security, our national honor, demand…...'
B. More recently we have heard the cry: ''To have peace, we must be resolved to pay, and declare our intention of paying, whatever price is necessary - even the price of starting a war in order to force the co-operation of everyone in maintaining peace. We have adopted a new role for a democracy in becoming the initiators of war of aggression, the role of the first aggressors in behalf of peace.''
C. But there is nothing new about that, except perhaps the intentions.
D. Whether it is the Pax Romana, or the thousand - year peace of Hitler, or that suppression of the bourgeoisie which forms the pretext for Communism, the aim in each case is not freedom in peace, but domination.
6. Tyrants or demagogues, empires, republics, or democracies have always claimed that they were making war in order to make peace - that is their peace.
