The following pages were written in large part shortly after the entrance of the United States into the world war. The international ideals there expressed are such as many people the world over then held and have since come to hold with an increasing ardour of conviction. Only subsequently have some of these become specific issues of international diplomacy. To the idealists of Russia, to the British Labour Party, and to Woodrow Wilson do we owe the insistence upon honourable, frank, and enlightened dealing among nations, no less than among individuals, as fundamental to a just and lasting peace. But though enlightened and magnanimous ideals of an enduring peace are now a part of the worlds thought, a theme of daily discussion, unfortunately they are far from being universally accepted; nor are the enemies to them only those who combat them openly. Infinitely more dangerous is the secret opposition to them of a powerful class both at home and abroad. For these ideals are indirectly subversive of the old order; their implications are revolutionary.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the aftermath of World War I and explores the critical junction at which humanity found itself. The author examines the war's impact on people's perceptions of democracy, international relations, and the role of the individual within society. Drawing from historical examples and insightful analysis, the author argues that the world had a unique opportunity to reshape itself based on ideals of freedom, international unity, and social justice. The book delves into the challenges of balancing individual liberty with state power, the threat of autocracy in various forms, and the need for democratic control over industrial systems. Ultimately, the author emphasizes the urgency of embracing these ideals and working towards a world where war and oppression are relics of the past, paving the way for a future of peace and progress.
