Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arbitration in Latin America Why have I yielded to the kind encouragement of some friends to give to the printer these Pages where, with no attempt at original literature, I have gotten together, in documentary form, the ideas and tendencies of Latin America as to arbitration? The First Peace Conference, assembled in 1899 by the noble initiative of His August Majesty the Czar of all the Russias, crystallized a crying need, a supreme longing of humanity, overwhelmed by war which kept alive the sufferings and misfortunes of the past, depriving the present of its joys and darkening the future with threats of desolation and of death. To limit armaments, the ready instruments of destruction, was the initial idea of the labor to be accomplished by the Peace Conferences. Were this done, much of the evil, if not all, would disappear. After this great step, others would follow. It is unnecessary to rehearse here the reasons why all that was expected has not been achieved, why the ideal was beyond the limit of realization. The events are too recent and we only see what has not been obtained, underestimating the benefits which have resulted. There has not been failure, nor even discouragement, only that the summit is high, higher than it was ever thought to be in our enthusiasm, and the road sometimes steeper and narrower than we expected. But only those who have faith reach the promised land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
