Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Looking Before and After: Some War-Time Essays Five years ago, I was one in a large number of observers of current events and students of the historic development of mankind, who believed that they had much to justify their hope in a near realization of their cherished ideal of "Peace on Earth and Good Will among Men." Prompted by seemingly clear signs of the times, I had published, three years previously, - 1911 - a booklet under the title," Thought and Fact for To-day." In the introduction to the book I declared that, "War is not a necessary, and therefore is not to be a perpetual, accompaniment of social, or national development. It has become a relic, or a survival of the life of savage and barbaric man, unworthy of toleration under the enlightenment fast spreading among the mankind of to-day. And even though, for the purpose of self-defense against the lust of gain and power of some nations, it may be necessary for the best of peoples to continue to bear arms, it is still one of the highest of national and international duties to advance continually the plea for a World-Peace, and to use all ways that open towards it."
