Fredrik Bajer quotes about
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.
height warfare impossible
Warfare has been marvelously developed. It will soon be impossible to raise it to further heights.
views ideas different
To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced - this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.
criticism waste wasting-time
There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time.
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.
