unions propose universal
I would rather propose a bureau somewhat similar to that which we have in the Universal Postal Union.
war two affair
There are in most states one or two ministers of war, one of whom is the minister of naval affairs.
party political adrift
A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.
association voters matter
Propaganda is a topic of particular concern to peace associations. This is a matter of educating the population in general, and not least the voters.
literature causes pacifist
Indeed; peace literature is almost exclusively read, though to good effect, by pacifists, while what is needed is the canvassing of those who have not so far been won to the cause.
unions association advantage
An advantage that the Hague Conferences lack, in contrast to the peace associations and the Interparliamentary Union, is a bureau.
taken law mind
Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.
war venture cabinets
But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.
essentials language speak
I would have thought it possible to choose delegates for these larger conferences who, even if they could not speak the principal languages, could at least understand them or could have friends seated beside them who could keep them informed on essential points.
art war long
We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.
years may today
Today's date, the eighteenth of May, should sometime become an occasion of great international celebration, for on this day ten years ago the first Peace Conference opened at The Hague.
spiritual character mean
By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.
war waging-war rate
Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.
art responsibility hands
On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.
