Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War and Waste: A Series of Discussions of War and War Accessories The movement of civilization is toward a new conception of the State, not as a "power," but as a centre of jurisdiction. Its main function is not as in medieval times to exercise force beyond its borders, or to bring unwilling peoples under its sway, but rather to maintain peace and justice within its limits, other states having outside its boundaries the same function exercised in a similar way. The Canadian boundary marks the northern limit of the jurisdiction of the United States, and the beginning of precisely similar jurisdiction on the part of Canada. It is not a line of battle, and a citizen of either nation can travel in the other or even permanently establish himself there without loss of comfort or rights. The railways of one nation freely traverse the other when necessity arises, and the relative size or "power" of the two nations in no way affects these conditions.
