Read this line from the text:
to carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.
what idea does the word creeps suggest in this text?
the generations change and grow gradually over time.
the idea of warfare with other planets is unsettling.
the changes on mars happened slowly.
the inhabitants of mars have an unpleasant appearance.

The idea of warfare with other planets is unsettling.

Explanation:

The  line refers to "The War of the Worlds"  by H. G. Wells. It is about the possible war bewteen Mars and Earth. Mars has cooled down and the only way out from that hostile situation is declaring war against the "warm" Earth.  The inhabitans from Mars have been suffering from the destruction of their environment for long. It is the destruction of their own planet that has been moving slowly through generations. and generations , so the time to carry weapons towards the sun , which is above the Earth, has come.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
