The Publisher has copy-edited this book to improve the formatting, style and accuracy of the text to make it readable. This did not involve changing the substance of the text. Some books, due to age and other factors may contain imperfections. Since there are many books such as this one that are important and beneficial to literary interests, we have made it digitally available and have brought it back into print for the preservation of printed works of the past.
Preface:
...THE men of today stand upon a peak in Darien. Behind lies the world they have known, with its trials and failures. Beyond lies the uncharted sea, and the great unknown time. The world war represents the passing of the old order and the end of an epoch. A new day is begun, a page of new achievements is upturned The old order passes from view; the new world is rising upon our vision.
...The world can never again be as it has been. The house has collapsed, and its structure is discredited. In this period of reconstruction it is imperative that men should know what are the defective principles of the old order that must be kept out, and what are the true principles that should be builded in as the very foundations of the house that is to be. What kind of world order do we want? What are the principles and ideals that should guide us in our planning? What are the immediate things in our efforts, and what are the ultimate ends? What are the forces and factors on which we may count for aid and inspiration? These are questions of first importance in this hour.
...This little book suggests the answer to some of these questions. But it is simply the outline of a great subject. It makes no attempt to discuss the social order and the international situation in detail, or to interpret in all possible bearings the new policies and programs. It does seek to interpret some of the movements of the time, to state some of the questions that are up for a hearing, and to suggest the direction of movement in social effort. A few aspects only of the great social task are noted, with constant recognition, however, that these must be viewed together in their relation to the one enterprise. The question of international justice is closely related to the condition of economic life at home.
Contents:
Chapter I. The Old and The New — Chapter II. The Rebuilding of the Community — Chapter III. The Democratization of Industry — Chapter IV. The Socialization of the Nation — Chapter V. The Reconstruction of International Life — Chapter VI. The Church and the Crisis
Excerpt:
...There must be a league of free nations, a federation of the world. In this direction several things may be noted: a. There must be a world parliament made up of representatives of the nations, to consider questions of common interest, to frame international laws, and to interpret world justice, b. There must be an international court to interpret international law and decide all questions that arise between nations and states according* to accepted principles and laws. Any nation feeling itself wronged may submit its case to this court for adjudication; and no nation shall be free to attack another till its case has been heard, c. There must be also an intemational police force large and strong enough to enforce international law against any offending member. This international police force should possess an army and navy stronger than that of any member; in fact it should be the only army and navy in existence, and no nation must be permitted to gather deadly weapons. The time has gone by when the nations of earth can permit any freebooting nation to endanger the peace of the world. They cannot permit any international thug to aggress on weaker peoples, to steal their land, and crush them out of existence. As the individual nation cannot permit individuals to make their own wishes supreme and endanger the peace of society, so the nations can no longer permit any people to run amuck and embroil the nations in war. The persoa who would live in society and enjoy its benefits, must come under the Control of society. The nation that would live in the world and hiave dealings with other peoples, must be willing to honor international justice and live in peace. The nations must teach the disturber of the world's peace that aggression and war do not pay. They must provide that force and ruthlessness shall not succeed. They must affirm and establish the law of right among the nations. They must make every people know that if it is to have dealings with other peoples, such dealings shall be on the basis of justice and brotherhood. In fine, there must be a league of the nations with advantages so manifestly real that all will want to enter it.
