THE THINGS MEN FIGHT FOR

With Some Application to Present Conditions in EuropeBut I am neither young nor free, and my lot is cast with a people who, although all unwittingly in the storm centre, has another and a more difficult task. It is theirs to awake to the fact that their isola tion is gone forever, theirs to accustom themselves to the strange consciousness, half irksome and half exhilarating, of contact with growing peoples, theirs to learn the laws of growth and the logic of its inevitable pressure. As the chief custodian of the world s future peace, we must understand the nature of war. We shall not bridle its Violence so long as we see in it only the tyranny of monarchs or the caprice of naughty nations. It is folly to parley with protoplasm. It is wicked to malign the intelligence and the integrity of peoples.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
