| 20694 | And what are the consequences presumably due to follow in the nearer future from the installation of such a peace at large? |
| 20694 | Diplomatically speaking, of course, sufficient provocation was found in either case, as how should it not? |
| 20694 | The question then recurs: How may peace be maintained within the horizon of German or Japanese ambitions? |
| 20694 | The question will, no doubt, present itself, Is the end worth the cost? |

| 13858 | Alien Enemy can not Sue in this Country, 9 Who is Enemy?, 21 Natural Enemies, 23 FUNDS. |
| 13858 | Are not then the foundations of the laws that governed this case changed? |
| 13858 | Are there any modern principles of right and justice by which such persons are still to claim consideration? |
| 13858 | But what are the principles of right and wrong? |
| 13858 | It may immediately be asked-- How is that public opinion to be ascertained? |
| 13858 | To commence with the question, Who is the international legislator? |
| 13858 | What is just? |

| 18553 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? 18553 2d If a case can exist in which a sound maxim may,& ought to be departed from, is not the present instance, precisely that case? 18553 But the reader may ask, what is the use in signing any treaty if nations are so devoid of good faith? 18553 For how would they propose to get at either enemy without superior fleets? 18553 Have you noticed how the world will take anything nowadays from a German? 18553 How can I make bricks without straw? 18553 Why did Germany back down from her position? 18553 Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? 18553 Will Japan respect the pledges she has made and live up to the spirit of her promises? 18553 With the removal of the German menace, what reasons were there for Great Britain to continue the alliance? 35530 And were the results of the French Revolution worth the cost of the terrible barbarism and suffering that took place? 35530 As war assumes the right to kill human beings, what rights, then, have the victims left over that are worth mentioning? 35530 But how can this be done? 35530 But to reach such a happy realization of the truth what are we, the people, to do now? 35530 For instance, did the precedence belong to Spain, and what marks of honor were due to the representatives of the neutral powers? 35530 How could we then expect the people of the seventeenth century to do this? 35530 How many, at the present time, can look at their country, its ideals, ideas, and customs justly and without prejudice?

33302 CHAPTER I THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SOCIETY OF STATES[ Sidenote: Is the law of nations an anarchic law?] 33302 Does the International Prize Court restrict the sovereignty of the several states? 33302 Does the constitution of the International Prize Court violate the principle of the equality of states? 33302 How then must and will this organization take shape? 33302 If at the outbreak of a war he be resident in the territory of the enemy, can not he be expelled? 33302 If he contribute to a loan raised by the enemy, will not his own state punish him for treason? 33302 In conclusion the great question is, what is to happen if a state declines to accept the decision of the international court to which it has appealed? 33302 Is not his property on many occasions-- for example, during a siege or a bombardment, or on the field of battle-- destroyed without compensation? 33302 Is the law of nations an anarchic law? 33302 Must he not, if his fatherland is completely conquered and annexed by the enemy, reconcile himself to becoming a subject of the enemy? 33302 We might therefore quite well substitute the term_ agreeing a law_ for the term_ decreeing a law_,--but why introduce a new technical term? 33302 What is to be done if a state refuses to accept the decision of an international court? 33302 Would the formation of an international Prize Court of Appeal infringe the sovereignty of the several states? 33302 [ Sidenote: Are international courts valueless if states are not bound to submit their disputes to them?] 33302 [ Sidenote: Does the International Prize Court restrict the sovereignty of the several states?] 33302 [ Sidenote: Does the constitution of the International Prize Court violate the principle of the equality of states?] 33302 [ Sidenote: What is to be done if a state refuses to accept the decision of an international court?] 33302 [ Sidenote: Would the formation of an international Prize Court of Appeal infringe the sovereignty of the several states?] 28950 Another difficulty about plebiscites is this: Is their effect perpetual or not, and if not how long does it last? 28950 But suppose the vote is very close; how about a vote where a little over half of the population go one way and a trifle under half go the other? 28950 Does it have the same moral effect as a larger vote? 28950 Had or had not hostilities broken out within the meaning of Article 10 of the Protocol? 28950 How then can a State become a party to this temporary and provisional paper if it is not a party to the permanent and definitive document? 28950 If Tyrone votes for Dublin today, is it an eternal decision or only till another vote in 1930, or till when? 28950 In such circumstances, who could say, what tribunal could decide, thejust"frontier? |

| 28950 | So I regard these provisions as to an armistice as the most ingenious[ Transcriber''s note: ingenuous?] |
| 28950 | Suppose, however, that there is an actual state of war; how is it to be determined which one of the two[6] belligerents is the aggressor? |

| 28950 | What progress has been made during these four years? |
| 28950 | What would happen if the Dutch put an embargo upon the exportation of this drug? |
| 28950 | Where does all this leave the problems of disarmament and security? |
| 28950 | Where was the fate of the German colonies decided-- in East Africa and in the Pacific, or on the Western Front? |
| 28950 | Would the United States have the right under international law to object to such a blockade? |
| 28950 | [ 11] The questions are: Is the area to vote as a whole or by districts, and where is the line of the voting area to be drawn? |
| 28950 | [ 6] Did the World War end merely in deciding the question about the rights of Austria and Serbia in connection with the murder of the Archduke? |

| 26023 | But what about an International Army and Navy? |

| 26023 | How can we expect that she will carry out the engagements into which she might enter by becoming a member of the League of Nations? |
| 26023 | How is it possible to establish a Federal World Parliament? |
| 26023 | Is the assertion really true that States renounce their sovereignty by entering into the League? |
| 26023 | Law- making treaties, what are? |
| 26023 | Now what is new in the desired new League of Nations? |
| 26023 | Now what was the reason that antiquity did not know of any International Law? |
| 26023 | Now why would the several States claim a right to appoint at least one man of their own choice as judge? |
| 26023 | Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |
| 26023 | That leads me to the question: What is a nation? |
| 26023 | The Great Powers, are they really the legally recognised superiors of the minor States? |

| 26023 | Where is this beginning of the development to be found? |
| 26023 | Why is a World State not possible, at any rate not in our time? |
| 26023 | Why is this assertion incorrect? |
| 26023 | Why not? |
| 26023 | Why not? |
| 26023 | Will it be different in the future? |
| 26023 | Will the League really stand the test of History? |

| 39588 | Dora, is that you? |
| 39588 | Have n''t you got any cotton wool for us to plug our ears with? |
| 39588 | How many kids are there under way that''ll never come to see their dads? |
| 39588 | I only wanted to ask if those are wild beasts, or if they''re what are called human beings you''ve torn to pieces there? |
| 39588 | Ready? |
| 39588 | So you wish me to stay behind, and the others to go and die for us? |
| 39588 | What others? |
| 39588 | What''s the good of that how- d''ye- do? 39588 Where are you going, Daddy?" |
| 39588 | ***** Where then lies the truth? |
| 39588 | ... who can tell whether he has been hit or not?... |
| 39588 | A murderer? |
| 39588 | Aim steadily-- straight for the chest.... Who is it really facing me? |
| 39588 | An enemy? |
| 39588 | And didst Thou not die for the whole human race? |
| 39588 | And do we cling so passionately to this life? |
| 39588 | And trembling, we lie down... and over our heads rushes something that howls for our flesh.... What''s the next thing? |
| 39588 | Are there nothing but dead abroad this night?... |
| 39588 | Are we going to attack? |
| 39588 | Are you not glad? |
| 39588 | But curt and sharp, as we knew it, the rasping note of command responds:"What the devil''s the matter with you? |
| 39588 | But what''s the good of that in these times of famine prices? |
| 39588 | But what''s to happen when hundreds of thousands of others have to go out sewing too? |
| 39588 | But what''s to happen when hundreds of thousands of others have to start a shop? |
| 39588 | Ca n''t you hear? |
| 39588 | D''you take me for a thief?" |
| 39588 | Didst Thou not love mankind? |
| 39588 | Do n''t they envy us our sweet death? |
| 39588 | Do n''t you know me any more?" |
| 39588 | Dost Thou shudder at these sons of men? |
| 39588 | Got a head? |
| 39588 | Has every human being been fusilladed? |
| 39588 | Has that ceased to be a case of man to man? |

| 39588 | Or are both lies--"both deliberate conscious untruths, written under the inspiration of a social democratic lawyer?" |
| 39588 | Shall we have to retreat? |
| 39588 | The first line is lying shot down in the stubble... what''s the next thing? |

| 33153 | Whom does it pay? 33153 251- 2(?). 33153 Against such an organised body what can a single manufacturer avail? 33153 Are we to mete out justice even- handed to the Poles, Finns and Jews of Russia, the Czechs and Southern Slavs of Austria, the Armenians and Alsatians? 33153 Are we, for instance, to become the defenders of small nationalities, ready to go to war whenever one is invaded? 33153 As for the heroic warriors of the Scotch border, would they not to- day be{ 25} jailed as cattle- thieves? 33153 But if nations will not gladly accept arbitration where supposedly vital interests are concerned, can they not be coerced? 33153 But to whom do the dividends go? 33153 Can we change in human nature that desire for material things, which has always been the great survival virtue of the race? 33153 Did you not fight England, Mexico and Spain? 33153 Even if war does not cease, however, may we not at least be exempt from the scourge on this safe side of the broad Atlantic? 33153 Has a small nation a right to hold its present territory when that right conflicts with the economic advance, let us say, of a whole continent? 33153 Have we not here an alternative to war? 33153 Have you not taken advantage of your neighbours''necessities? |

| 33153 | If Europe did not solve the Balkan problem in peace, did Americans end slavery without resort to arms? |
| 33153 | If Germany violates Belgium''s neutrality, why should England surrender her power to put the maximum pressure upon her unscrupulous enemy? |
| 33153 | If there is to be neither war nor an effective international regulation, what limits can a nation set to non- military aggression by its neighbour? |
| 33153 | If therefore the foreign field is to be extended, why is the German eternally to be left out in the division? |
| 33153 | If two hundred thousand volunteer for a war when we are not obviously attacked, will not the whole country go to war for the sake of"honour"? |

| 33153 | Moreover, what advantage is it to the wage- earner to have his country''s wealth exported beyond his reach? |
| 33153 | Not immediately, not inopportunely, but in the right season? |
| 33153 | On what broad general principle shall we decide the urgent questions which arise day by day in most unexpected conjunctions? |
| 33153 | Should we compel Russia to treat her Poles and Jews fairly and concede to Russia the right to compel us to treat our Negroes fairly? |
| 33153 | Should we fight Japan to aid China? |
| 33153 | Should we have interposed to save Persia from benevolent absorption by Russia and England? |
| 33153 | Should we respect Canada''s right to keep New York, had that city originally been settled by Canadians? |
| 33153 | Should we war against Germany because of Belgium, and against France and England because of Greece? |
| 33153 | Though it rains outside, may we not keep dry beneath our big umbrella? |
| 33153 | We should be richer to- morrow if we took Mexico, but would it pay in the end? |
| 33153 | What are we willing to fight for rather than forego? |
| 33153 | What could Germany do if foreign nations shut her off from access to ores, foods and textiles? |
| 33153 | What do we already have or claim, the retention of which would justify us in fighting? |
| 33153 | What is the probable, or at least possible, policy of Russia in such circumstances? |
| 33153 | What is to decide what colonies shall belong to what nation or what share each nation shall have in the profits of exploitations? |
| 33153 | What is''in it''for the nations or for classes or individuals within the nations?" |
| 33153 | What profit has the French artisan or peasant in all these grand concessions from the illustrious Sultan of Morocco? |
| 33153 | What, after all, do the hundred million Americans want beyond their borders? |
| 33153 | While we work for these ideals, are we to allow Germany to sink our liners and Japan to swallow up China, or are we to fight? |
| 33153 | Why is France''s colonial empire more than two and a half times as large as that of Germany? |
| 33153 | Why should we alone, among the nations be exempt from economic forces, which drive peace- loving nations into war? |
| 33153 | Why, then, is Germany''s course so bitterly resented? |
| 33153 | Will the nations in this generation or in five generations agree to make sacrifices to permit their rivals to live? |
| 33153 | Would not the threat of it and the knowledge that it could be used form a potent restraint upon the law- breaker? |
| 33153 | Would such a conquest accord with our larger policies and our true ambitions in the world? |
| 11895 | What is this I hear, Jones, that you do not believe in the Monroe Doctrine? |
| 11895 | A critic once put to me what he evidently deemed a poser:"Do you urge that we shall be stronger than our enemy, or weaker?" |
| 11895 | And does Mr. Chesterton suggest that the war system settles these matters to perfection? |
| 11895 | And does the passage I have quoted mean that we-- that English diplomacy-- has had no part in European diplomacy in the past? |
| 11895 | And if it is not true? |
| 11895 | And if that assumption-- plainly indicated as it is by a Liberal Minister-- is right, who can say that Lord Roberts''conclusion is not justified? |
| 11895 | Are theories and logic of the slightest use, since force alone can determine the issue? |
| 11895 | Are those Pacifists, who try at the same time to be Democrats, prepared to acquiesce in such a conclusion? |
| 11895 | But does this mean that if one threatens to take my purse, I am not allowed to use force to prevent it? |
| 11895 | But what are the facts? |
| 11895 | But what, it will be said, is the practical outcome? |
| 11895 | Can not we afford to set aside those old passions and see how far in one particular at least they may have been right? |
| 11895 | Could any remedy have been devised on the whole so conclusive and complete as that used by the Balkan peoples? |
| 11895 | Could we ask a better illustration than the history of the Turk and his Christian victims? |
| 11895 | Do we know the intention of England with reference to Woman''s Suffrage or Home Rule or Tariff Reform? |
| 11895 | Does a First Lord want new ships? |
| 11895 | Does he want to join in Armageddon? |
| 11895 | Face to face with this manifestation, who is the man bold enough to say that force is never a remedy? |
| 11895 | Had he read these volumes, that he talked so disrespectfully of their contents? |
| 11895 | Has our own policy been a large factor in determining that of the Powers? |
| 11895 | Has our own policy directly prevented in the past the triumph of the Christian populations which, despite that policy, has finally taken place? |
| 11895 | Have not the Balkan peoples redeemed War from the charges too readily brought against it as simply an instrument of barbarism? |
| 11895 | Have questions of profit and loss, economic considerations, anything whatever to do with this war? |
| 11895 | Have we not, on the contrary, by universal admission played a predominant role by backing the wrong horse? |
| 11895 | How, therefore, can we know the intentions of"Germany"? |
| 11895 | I replied as follows: Mr. Cecil Chesterton says that the question which I have raised is this:"Should usurers go to war?" |
| 11895 | Is War impossible? |
| 11895 | Is it futile? |
| 11895 | Is it not a commonplace that in India, quite as much as in the New World, the trader and the settler drove out the soldier and the conqueror? |
| 11895 | Is it unlikely? |
| 11895 | Is not force a remedy, and at times the only remedy? |
| 11895 | Is not war therefore inevitable, and must we not prepare diligently for it? |
| 11895 | More and more is religious effort being subjected to this test: does it make for the improvement of society? |
| 11895 | Now the question immediately arises: Are we prepared to arm any International Tribunal with any such powers? |
| 11895 | Now why should there be any danger of Germany bringing about this catastrophe unless she could profit enormously by so doing? |
| 11895 | Now, do these things constitute as a national policy an inspiring aim or not? |
| 11895 | Now, looking back upon what has since happened, which view shows the greater wisdom and prevision? |
| 11895 | Or would we urge that to do so is the way to carry on a trade, or a nation, or a government, or make it the basis of human relationship? |
| 11895 | Shall we wait till Consols are 65 and our national credit is gone? |
| 11895 | Shall we wait till Germany''s present naval programme, which is every year reducing our advantage, is complete? |
| 11895 | Shall we wait till the smouldering industrial revolution, of which all these strikes are warnings, has broken into flame? |
| 11895 | That if he threatens to kill me, I am not to defend myself, because"the individual citizens are not allowed to settle their differences by force?" |
| 11895 | That it has worked satisfactorily in Ireland and Finland, or, for the matter of that, in Albania or Macedonia? |
| 11895 | That of the man who delivered this speech( and he was John Bright) or those against whom he spoke? |
| 11895 | The outlook is not very pleasant, is it? |
| 11895 | The same correspondent says he is constantly being asked:--"Is there no means of avoiding war?" |
| 11895 | Thus Mr. Cecil Chesterton[5]: In essence Mr. Angell''s query is:"Should usurers go to war?" |
| 11895 | To which set of principles has time given the greater justification? |
| 11895 | Unhappily, one has to ask whether some of these military Pacifists really want it to succeed? |
| 11895 | WHAT MUST WE_ DO_? |
| 11895 | WHAT MUST WE_ DO_? |
| 11895 | Was it the mere hazards of war which gave to Great Britain the domination of India and half of the New World? |
| 11895 | Was our own policy at fault when we were led into a war to ensure the"integrity and independence of the Turkish dominions in Europe"? |
| 11895 | What Shall we DO? |
| 11895 | What do we mean when we speak of the money of a nation, or the self- interest of a community? |
| 11895 | What has Pacifism, Old or New, to say now? |
| 11895 | What must inevitably happen if the nations take the line of the"practical man,"and limit their energies simply and purely to piling up armaments? |
| 11895 | What precisely does it mean? |
| 11895 | What then must we_ do_? |
| 11895 | What would you have had me reply to those Germans?" |
| 11895 | Who is the man who is foolish enough to say that martial virtues do not play a vital part in the health and honour of every people? |
| 11895 | Why does Mr. Churchill say it has? |
| 11895 | Would any serious politician now be found to deny it? |
| 11895 | Would the demonstration of its economic futility have kept the peace? |
| 11895 | Would those incendiaries be entitled to say that the town authorities were incendiaries also, and"believed in setting light to towns?" |
| 11895 | Yet that is whither the nations are blindly drifting Who, then, makes war? |
| 11895 | [ 7] What have peace theories to do with this war? |
| 11895 | _ War with Germany is inevitable_, and the only question is-- Shall we consult her convenience as to its date? |
| 11895 | _ Why_ should we do it? |
| 11895 | in the pound? |
| 39487 | But may not a prince go to war justly for his right? |
| 39487 | But what of wars against the Turk? |
| 39487 | Sed quid ad nos? |
| 39487 | What new manner of pageant is this that I behold? 39487 And again, what thing is more necessary? 39487 And if any man would inform her, that it were man that she beheld in such array, might she not well, with great wondering, say these words? 39487 And nevertheless if men will so much lean to the example of the Jews, why do we not then in like manner use circumcision? 39487 And then we go and curse the Turk; and what can be a more pleasant sight to the Turks, than to behold us daily each slaying other? 39487 And think ye that it will grieve them, that be of this mind, to enter lightly into war, when any cause is offered? 39487 And what thing is so repugnant to charity as war? 39487 And why had we rather follow the uncertain examples, than the authority that is sure and certain? 39487 And why not, since we have learned by the law civil, that the very order of charity is, that every man must first provide for himself? 39487 But why should we not( say they) kill them that would kill us? 39487 But( O good Lord) for what trifling causes what tragedies of war do we stir up? 39487 But, alas, what shall the eyes see, where the mind is away? 39487 Did any war ever lack a title? 39487 Did ye never behold a lion let loose unto a bear? 39487 Do we to no purpose pray as taught by Christ: Good Lord, even as thy will is fulfilled in heaven, so let it be fulfilled in the earth? 39487 Finally, if Christian men can not despise and set at naught these so light things, yet whereto need they by and by to run to arms? 39487 First of all, what in all this world is more sweet or better than amity or love? 39487 For what is more delectable than a friend? 39487 For what thing is there, either spiritual or temporal, that is not done with great show of riches? 39487 From whence are those iron horns? 39487 From whence cometh to thee this voice more horrible than of a wild beast? 39487 From whence hast thou that shining helmet? 39487 From whence hast thou that threatening crest upon thy head? 39487 From whence then cometh all this tumult of wars amongst the children of peace? 39487 From whence, then, creepeth this pestilence in among Christian people? 39487 How oft have people gone from one country to another? 39487 I beseech you, who would believe that they were men, if it were not because war is a thing so much in custom that no man marvelleth at it? 39487 If it be but a tale that is told of Christ, why do we not openly put him out of our company? 39487 In war if there happen anything luckily( but, O good Lord, what may we say happeneth well and luckily in war? 39487 Now if men will needs follow the example of Peter that fought, why might they not as well follow the example of him forsaking his Master? 39487 Of whence are those hard plates? 39487 Peradventure some man will say: Wouldst not have princes fight for their right? 39487 Since we abhor those things, why doth the example of war please us so much? 39487 Then will ye hear, what a deed they durst at the last do? 39487 Think ye it a fable, that Christ calleth himself a vine tree, and his own the branches? 39487 Trow ye it is a good Christian man''s deed to slay a Turk? 39487 Trow ye that Nature could here know it was the same thing, that she sometime had wrought with her own hands? 39487 Trow ye, was he not mad, when he wrote letters to the mountain called Athos, threatening that the hill should repent except it obeyed his lust? 39487 What a business hath he to make and entertain friends to help him? 39487 What a look and countenance hast thou more terrible than of a brute beast? 39487 What availeth it with so great troubling to change any title, which in short space by one chance or other must go to another man? 39487 What do all the epistles of Paul sound in every place but peace, but long- suffering, but charity? 39487 What evil spirit hath thus defiled my work? 39487 What gapings, what roarings, what grisly gnashing, what tearing of their flesh, is there? 39487 What hath chanced, that this creature is changed into such a brute beast? 39487 What is he that can reckon all the incommodious life that the most foolish soldiers suffer in the field? 39487 What is the law of Christ? 39487 What nation hath not fought and skirmished with another? 39487 What nation is there that hath not sometime been put out of their own country, and also have put other out? 39487 What need many words? 39487 What other thing did Peter? 39487 What other thing did all the true Christian writers? 39487 What sorceress hath thus turned him out of his kindly shape? 39487 What speaketh Saint John, what rehearseth he so oft, but love? 39487 What witch hath bewitched the mind of man, and transformed it into such brutishness? 39487 What, a tent? 39487 Whence are those deadly weapons? 39487 Whence cometh it, that thine elbows are so sharp and piked? 39487 Where be the innumerable teachings of peace? 39487 Where be they so many sacraments of perfect concord? 39487 Where hadst thou those brazen teeth? 39487 Where hadst thou those scales? 39487 Where hast thou gotten this thunder and lightning, both more fearful and hurtful than is the very thunder and lightning itself? 39487 Where is the kingdom of the devil, if it be not in war? 39487 Who but a madman will angle with a golden fish- hook? 39487 Who did ever see one branch fight with another? 39487 Who will deny but Alexander the Great was mad also? 39487 Whoever saw the eye fight with the hand, or the belly with the foot? 39487 Why are these few examples most in mind? 39487 Why do we here follow the bare letter that killeth? 39487 Why do we not abstain from swine''s flesh? 39487 Why do we not sacrifice with the blood of sheep and other beasts? 39487 Why do ye not hate them that hate you? 39487 Why do ye not scold and chide at them that rail at you? 39487 Why do ye not, then, rob those that have robbed you before? 39487 Why doth not each of us we d many wives? 39487 Why draw we Christ into war, with whom a brothel- house agreeth more than war? 39487 Why had we rather have war than peace? 39487 Why sent he forth his disciples again tyrants, armed with nothing else but with a walking- staff and a scrip? 39487 Why shall I claim a title I know not, and a doubtful right, with spilling of my subjects''blood? 39487 Why shall I depart so many honest wives and their husbands, and make so many fatherless children? 39487 Why should men add the horrors of war to all the other miseries and dangers of life? 39487 Why should one man''s gain be sought only through another''s loss? 39487 Why should we glory in his title? 39487 Why turn we our eyes from Christ to men? 39487 Will ye bring the Turks to the faith of Christ? 39487 Will ye see how beastly, how foul, and how unworthy a thing war is for man? 39487 Will ye see how small a matter it is that we make all this tumult for? 39487 Yet from whence cometh it into our minds, that one Christian man should draw his weapon to bathe it in another Christian man''s blood? 39487 You mistrust a prince of your own alliance, and will you commit yourself wholly to an armed multitude? 39487 what a business to procure bands of strangers and to hire soldiers? 35883 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" |
| 35883 | Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 35883 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
| 35883 | And for what, it may be asked, is all this inhuman sacrifice made? |
| 35883 | And if God is not the author of all the laws both in the natural and moral world, it may reasonably be inquired, who is? |
| 35883 | And is it not the duty of all who name the name of Christ to do all in their power to counteract this destroying evil? |
| 35883 | And is it not the duty of every Christian now to exhibit the same spirit and temper which will be then manifested? |
| 35883 | And it may be asked, What inhuman hand is the cause of all this sorrow? |
| 35883 | And shall all our pious forefathers be condemned for engaging in war? |
| 35883 | And shall he who is not to avenge his own wrongs be instrumental in bringing others into chains, imprisonment, torment, and death?" |
| 35883 | And what has been the result? |
| 35883 | And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?" |
| 35883 | And why all this sorrow in this poor and needy family? |
| 35883 | And why is it necessary to inflame the pride of soldiers? |
| 35883 | And why not animate soldiers by it? |
| 35883 | Are not his angels swift to do his will? |
| 35883 | Are not pride, avarice, and revenge the seeds of all kinds of carnal warfare? |
| 35883 | Are not the hosts of heaven at his command? |
| 35883 | Are their liberties ever so little endangered as when this spirit is allayed and all its foreign excitements removed? |
| 35883 | Besides, who could execute the martyrs and be innocent? |
| 35883 | But do the principles of war lead individuals or nations to pass by offenses and to treat offenders as if they were innocent? |
| 35883 | But if such is the cruelty to beasts in prosecuting war, what is the cruelty to man, born for immortality? |
| 35883 | But if they object to his example as a rule of duty in these instances, why not object to his example as a rule of duty in the case of war? |
| 35883 | But if war is a greater evil than drunkenness, how can Christians remain silent respecting it and be innocent? |
| 35883 | But shall a highway robber be called an honest man because he takes but half the money of him whom he robs? |
| 35883 | But what is it to return evil for evil? |
| 35883 | But what is the practical language of war? |
| 35883 | But whence has arisen so great a revolution in the minds of the mass of professing Christians on this subject? |
| 35883 | But which is the greatest evil,--telling a lie, or killing a man? |
| 35883 | But who would pretend that the governments in heaven and hell are not diametrically opposite? |
| 35883 | Can fighting be living peaceably with all men? |
| 35883 | Can it be right for Christians to attempt to defend with hostile weapons the things which they profess but little to regard? |
| 35883 | Can one who professes the peaceable doctrine of the gospel be a soldier when it is his duty not so much as to go to law? |
| 35883 | Can the wound now be so easily healed as it could have been before it became thus lacerated and inflamed? |
| 35883 | Can unbelievers rationally suppose such prayers to be sincere? |
| 35883 | Dear brethren, is it not high time to come out from the world and be separated? |
| 35883 | Do nations ever enjoy so much liberty as when most free from the spirit of war? |
| 35883 | Do not nations that have partially lost their civil liberties gradually regain them in proportion as they continue long without war? |
| 35883 | Do these scenes generally change the lion into the lamb? |
| 35883 | Do they not, on the contrary, require justice and exact the very last mite? |
| 35883 | Does he actually put on bowels of tenderness, mercy, and forgiveness, while he bathes his sword in the blood of his brother? |
| 35883 | Does he, in fact, so often get into difficulty, quarreling and fighting? |
| 35883 | Dr. Scott, in his Essay, p. 422:"We ought not therefore to fear our enemies because he will be with us, and if God be for us, who can be against us? |
| 35883 | Has it the aspect of forgiveness for us, when an enemy trespasses on our rights, to arm with weapons of slaughter and meet him on the field of battle? |
| 35883 | Has not death always been considered the greatest evil which could be returned for capital crimes? |
| 35883 | If God be for them, who can be against them? |
| 35883 | If God be thus for his children, who can be against them? |
| 35883 | If men invade our rights and trespass upon our privileges, is it forgiveness to repel them at the point of the bayonet? |
| 35883 | If so, is it not their duty to do all in their power to promote so benevolent an object? |
| 35883 | If so, what can be more unwise, what more opposite to every dictate of sound wisdom and policy, than the spirit and practice of war? |
| 35883 | If there is reserved for them an eternal weight of glory, what if they, like their Divine Master, should not have where to lay their heads? |
| 35883 | If they are hereafter to reign as kings and priests unto God, what if they are not ranked among the great and honorable of the earth? |
| 35883 | If they are to inherit a crown of immortal glory, what if they are called to suffer the loss of earthly things? |
| 35883 | Is it an act of mercy, when a man encroaches on your property, to take away his life? |
| 35883 | Is it because some of the money goes to support war? |
| 35883 | Is it not a common sentiment that the liberties of a people are in danger when war engrosses their attention? |
| 35883 | Is it returning good for evil, and overcoming evil with good? |
| 35883 | Is not Christ as worthy of imitation as the Cæsars and Alexanders of this world? |
| 35883 | Is not the arm of the Lord powerful to save, and a better defense to all who trust in him than swords and guns? |
| 35883 | Is not the church covered with darkness and the people with gross darkness? |
| 35883 | It may be asked, Why were the Jews apprehensive, if all men should believe on him, the Romans would take away both their place and their nation? |
| 35883 | On the whole, is it not undeniable that peace is favorable to liberty, and that war is its enemy and its ruin? |
| 35883 | Or who can doubt but he that is in us is greater than he that is in the world? |
| 35883 | Ought not every individual Christian to conduct in such a manner that if every other person imitated his example it would be best for the whole? |
| 35883 | Ought they not then to conduct towards each other as brethren of one common Lord? |
| 35883 | Shall he then fear those who can only kill the body and afterwards have no more that they can do? |
| 35883 | The question is, How are they limited? |
| 35883 | The question then is, For what were they taken? |
| 35883 | Thinkest thou that I can not pray to my Father, and he would presently send me more than twelve legions of angels?" |
| 35883 | To what a state has sin reduced our world? |
| 35883 | Was it ever considered that killing a man was doing good to him? |
| 35883 | We would inquire, If the gospel tolerates war, how will its universal diffusion put a stop to war? |
| 35883 | What has humanity ever gained by war to counterbalance simply the afflictions of the widow and fatherless? |
| 35883 | What must be the consequence? |
| 35883 | Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? |
| 35883 | Who amongst our fellow- men would receive the thrust of a sword as an act of kindness? |
| 35883 | Who can deny that war is altogether a business of strife? |
| 35883 | Who would receive the thrust of a sword as an act of kindness? |
| 35883 | Whoever found him unfaithful to his promises or feeble to save? |
| 35883 | Why may not the gospel forbid war as consistently as it can forbid slavery? |
| 35883 | Will they not rather conclude that they are perfect mockery? |
| 35883 | Would he not conclude that either he or they had mistaken the genius of the gospel, or that they believed it to be but a fable? |
| 35883 | Would it be possible for governments to carry on war if they depended for support on the uncertain opinion of every individual? |
| 35883 | _ Objection first._ Shall we stand still and suffer an assassin to enter our houses without resistance and let him murder ourselves and families? |
| 35883 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
| 35883 | and what concord hath Christ with Belial?" |
| 35883 | come they not even of your lusts that war in your members? |
| 35883 | or does a nation show mercy to another that has actually invaded its rights by falling upon the aggressor and doing all the injury in its power? |
| 35883 | this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? |
| 30150 | But,you ask,"if the evolution of patriotism is inevitable, what have we to do with it? |
| 30150 | What is that element? |
| 30150 | And how does war affect these factors? |
| 30150 | And in the waging of war, do we reckon the direct cost to commerce? |
| 30150 | And is this but the dream of a visionary? |
| 30150 | And now, what shall we say of the position of America in this war against war? |
| 30150 | And why not? |
| 30150 | Are not the seeds of a new world- loyalty already in our soil? |
| 30150 | Are not we Americans the people chosen to lift the burden of militarism from off the backs of our downtrodden brother? |
| 30150 | Are these not the very cases which interested nations are least competent to decide? |
| 30150 | Are we not still paying unrighteous homage to Mars? |
| 30150 | Because a man with foreign capital operates ships instead of factories, why is there any special reason for exposing his property to depredation? |
| 30150 | But are they right? |
| 30150 | But as he falls on the field of battle, must not all these suffer? |
| 30150 | But has this obvious condition of affairs affected the race for armaments? |
| 30150 | But if war so dethrones a nation''s ideals, what may it not do to a nation''s morality? |
| 30150 | But the great question still remains, How does war affect them? |
| 30150 | But what of the self- restraint of the nation? |
| 30150 | But why, I ask, can not this new diplomacy be enforced as American diplomacy has always been enforced? |
| 30150 | By what divine right does the United States assume the rôle of preserving the world''s peace at the cannon''s mouth? |
| 30150 | Can the rice growers of Japan profit by killing Americans to whom they sell their produce? |
| 30150 | Can we expect better of groups than of the individuals of which the groups are composed? |
| 30150 | Can we expect our regiments to find contentment in the irksome routine of training camp with never a thought of charging the enemy? |
| 30150 | Can we expect that our skilled gunners will be satisfied to practice, practice always, and never long for human targets? |
| 30150 | Can we expect to man the seas with fleets of war just for gay parade and cruises around the world? |
| 30150 | Can you see a military parade without a suggestion of"Dixie"and the Star Spangled Banner, or feeling your bosom swell with patriotic pride? |
| 30150 | Did the keen mind of our former president really foresee the seizure of some of our territory by England or France? |
| 30150 | Do the women prate of freedom? |
| 30150 | Do they still hold out? |
| 30150 | Do you ask further evidence of the hypocrisy with which our Senate parades our national honor and our vital interests to the undoing of a grand work? |
| 30150 | Do you know that to maintain our so- called prestige we spend seventy per cent of our national income? |
| 30150 | Do you say this ideal is impractical? |
| 30150 | Do you say this is idealism-- visionary? |
| 30150 | Does Persia yield its banner? |
| 30150 | Does Thebes resist? |
| 30150 | Does war make for national greatness? |
| 30150 | For does it not blunt the sensibilities, harden the heart, inflame the mind with passions, and deaden the consciences of men? |
| 30150 | Has its voice sounded clear and strong on this world- evil? |
| 30150 | Has not the Church been too easy? |
| 30150 | Have they been doing their duty? |
| 30150 | Have they made it clear that war is sin and war is crime? |
| 30150 | Honor and vital interests-- could any words be more vague and indefinite? |
| 30150 | Honor? |
| 30150 | Honor? |
| 30150 | Honor? |
| 30150 | Honor? |
| 30150 | How about direct peace teaching in the lower schools? |
| 30150 | How about our churches? |
| 30150 | How are we going to attack the war problem in order to bring about action, instead of simply talk and discussion? |
| 30150 | How are we to attack this stupendous problem? |
| 30150 | How could she gain? |
| 30150 | How much does this signify? |
| 30150 | How much of it do we include in the work? |
| 30150 | How, then, shall we put an end to this useless rivalry of the nations? |
| 30150 | If Germany annihilated England''s navy to- morrow, how would she profit? |
| 30150 | If nations can agree to establish war as their arbiter of peace, why can they not establish a more peaceful substitute? |
| 30150 | If patriotism is the cause of war, how shall we treat the cause to destroy the result? |
| 30150 | If the child be taught that individuals should arbitrate their differences, can he not learn that the individual nations are subject to the same rule? |
| 30150 | In civil disputes, why, asks the student, should rifles be employed to discover truth and right? |
| 30150 | In the teaching of the individual, is it not odd and inconsistent that we forget the teaching of the unit? |
| 30150 | In view of the present attitude of the social mind, what are we to infer from this as bearing upon the ultimate outcome of international arbitration? |
| 30150 | In view of these facts, I ask you, What nation has the greatest responsibility for peace? |
| 30150 | In what state of prosperity and happiness might not France have been had Napoleon never lived? |
| 30150 | Is it conceivable that the Senate actually feared that our interests would be imperiled by that treaty? |
| 30150 | Is it merely the fancied perception of an inexistent star? |
| 30150 | Is it not a fact that one of the most terrible customs of savage men counts among its followers to- day all the nations of the earth? |
| 30150 | Is it not clear that this traitor to labor, this despoiler of ideals, this foe to morality, is not the benefactor but the destroyer of nations? |
| 30150 | Is it not painfully manifest that the cost of war constitutes a mighty argument for the economic mind of the student? |
| 30150 | Is it nothing more than a groundless hope and an alluring vagary? |
| 30150 | Is it nothing to you? |
| 30150 | Is it virtue? |
| 30150 | Is not such an assumption an insult to our neighbors? |
| 30150 | Is not the trend of patriotism clear? |
| 30150 | Is not this enough? |
| 30150 | Is this not a sacrifice essentially pagan in spirit? |
| 30150 | Is this reasonable? |
| 30150 | Is war, then, morality? |
| 30150 | National honor? |
| 30150 | Now what are the qualities in our men that make the nation great? |
| 30150 | Recognizing the impotency of appeals to economy and to reason, what are we going to do? |
| 30150 | Since when has it been true that might makes right, and that peace can be secured only by acting the part of a bully? |
| 30150 | The statesman, Pericles? |
| 30150 | The thinker, Plato? |
| 30150 | Then why do men fight? |
| 30150 | To such a national summons, how will Texas respond? |
| 30150 | True, Germany might commit some depredations and hinder the passage of trade, but what would be her motive? |
| 30150 | War the tonic or war the poison? |
| 30150 | We are horrified at the report of a single murder, yet, if viewed from the light of truth, what is war but wholesale murder? |
| 30150 | We have stopped war''s wanton waste of men and treasure; we rejoice in the growing wealth of peace ideals realized"? |
| 30150 | We must ask: What is patriotism? |
| 30150 | What about our schools,--not simply the colleges and universities, but all the schools,--which offer fertile ground to sow the seeds of peace? |
| 30150 | What appeal can we make to the nations that will be strong enough to do away with the war spirit? |
| 30150 | What are the factors that make for its greatness? |
| 30150 | What are the forces that have always come to our support against an immorality and a sin? |
| 30150 | What becomes of national honor then?" |
| 30150 | What better proof do we need that war is profitless, that it means financial suicide? |
| 30150 | What else shall we do? |
| 30150 | What fool will call that preparation for war a guaranty of peace? |
| 30150 | What hope, then, asks the world, finds the doctrine of peace in the ideals and aspirations of America''s youth to- day? |
| 30150 | What is it that compels Germany and France to tax themselves until they fairly stagger under the burden of military expenditures? |
| 30150 | What is national honor? |
| 30150 | What is our boast of civilization, while we tolerate this devotion of so many men and so much of wealth to war? |
| 30150 | What is our nation, anyway? |
| 30150 | What is our waste of war expressed in terms of the wealth of peace? |
| 30150 | What is to be done? |
| 30150 | What motive impelled Russia to this heathen conduct? |
| 30150 | What need of going farther? |
| 30150 | What now must be our conclusion about war? |
| 30150 | What place has it in our life? |
| 30150 | What will the answer be? |
| 30150 | What, for instance, was the purpose of the founder of this Intercollegiate Peace Association? |
| 30150 | What, then, are the vital interests that can be conserved only by saber and bullet? |
| 30150 | What, then, shall be our program? |
| 30150 | What, then, will we arbitrate? |
| 30150 | What? |
| 30150 | When two nations of adjacent territory can not agree over a boundary line, why should settlement be made in terms of physical force? |
| 30150 | Where did it come from? |
| 30150 | Where then is the commercial advantage supposed to attend superior military strength? |
| 30150 | Wherein, then, again asks the world, finds America hope for the future? |
| 30150 | Who shall presume to declare that this precept was directed not to nations but to individuals only? |
| 30150 | Who was the ideal ancient patriot? |
| 30150 | Why are men patriots, anyway, except to save their privileges and their government? |
| 30150 | Why do men fight? |
| 30150 | Why do the great powers build so many battleships? |
| 30150 | Why do we at the same time prepare for war and work for peace? |
| 30150 | Why should it be enlarged? |
| 30150 | Why should men limit their loyalty by a row of stones and trees that we call a boundary? |
| 30150 | Why should the workers of Germany be taxed to support a war against England, Germany''s best market? |
| 30150 | Why should the workingmen of one country offer themselves as targets for those of another? |
| 30150 | Why should we meddle with the course of nature?" |
| 30150 | Why, then, do nations throw away their strength in the building and equipping of armies and navies? |
| 30150 | Why, then, we ask, do nations make provision for war the first necessity of national life? |
| 30150 | Will we stop tagging at the heels of Great Britain and Germany and travel this broadening road in which we can be first? |
| 30150 | Would the mother bird fly away in safety? |
| 30150 | Yet what could be gained by attempted confiscation? |
| 30150 | [ 2] Why not the United States? |
| 30150 | that one man shall not kill, but nations may? |
| 38535 | Is there a German culture to- day? |
| 38535 | [ 25] Could a foreign nation say more? 38535 A British critic once put to me what he evidently deemed a poser:Do you urge that we shall be stronger than our enemy, or weaker?" |
| 38535 | A further illustration: Why should Germany have been sorely disappointed at France''s rapid recovery? |
| 38535 | Again the question arises: Could a foreign country do more? |
| 38535 | Again, how would the disappearance of the German navy affect the problem one way or the other? |
| 38535 | Again, what would be the inevitable result? |
| 38535 | And by what sort of miracle is she to be able to consume the wheat, because if she can not take the wheat the Canadian can not buy her products? |
| 38535 | And has Germany escaped a like condemnation? |
| 38535 | And have not the English, of all people of the world, a most direct interest in aiding the general realization of these truths in Europe? |
| 38535 | And if they did know, would it be quite a simple matter for the German Government to keep up the game? |
| 38535 | And the smaller Power says:"What are you going to give us for that tribute?" |
| 38535 | And were they war? |
| 38535 | And what avails it to conquer them if they can not be made amenable to force? |
| 38535 | Are all these factors to leave the national relationship unaffected? |
| 38535 | Are men less disposed to change their political than their religious opinions? |
| 38535 | Are not the numberless facts of national interdependence, which I have indicated here, pushing inevitably to that result? |
| 38535 | Are the axioms set out in the last chapter unchallengeable? |
| 38535 | Are theories and logic of the slightest use, since force alone can determine the issue? |
| 38535 | Are you quite sure the other is free? |
| 38535 | As she passed to the stake she cried to the Queen:"Great Queen, is not your presence able to bring me some comfort under my misery? |
| 38535 | But did a nation, group, tribe, family, or individual ever yet enter into a war which he did not think just? |
| 38535 | But does this mean that if one threatens to take my purse, I am not allowed to use force to prevent it? |
| 38535 | But if we must leave their wealth alone, how can we take it? |
| 38535 | But is the same in any sense true, despite Admiral Mahan, of the individual of a big State as compared to the individual of a small one? |
| 38535 | But is this a cause for deprecating the importance of clear understanding? |
| 38535 | But what do even its defenders say? |
| 38535 | But what is a further corollary of this situation? |
| 38535 | But what is the superior armament but the result of superior thought and work? |
| 38535 | But why should Admiral Fisher suppose that he has a monopoly of courage, and that a German Admiral would act otherwise than he? |
| 38535 | But why should she want to do so? |
| 38535 | By enforcing another Frankfurt treaty, by which English ports should be kept open to German goods? |
| 38535 | By impoverishing its component parts? |
| 38535 | By the mutual jealousies of those guaranteeing their neutrality? |
| 38535 | By what sort of miracle is she suddenly to be able to double her industrial population? |
| 38535 | By what sort of miracle is she suddenly to be able to supply products which have kept forty million people busy? |
| 38535 | CHAPTER III IS THE POLITICAL REFORMATION POSSIBLE? |
| 38535 | CHAPTER IV DO THE WARLIKE NATIONS INHERIT THE EARTH? |
| 38535 | Can one civilized nation gain moral or material advantage by the military conquest of another? |
| 38535 | Can you preserve your self- respect by summoning him to the police- court?" |
| 38535 | Could Germany"take"English trade and Colonies by military force? |
| 38535 | Could any remedy have been devised on the whole as conclusive and complete as that used by the Balkan peoples? |
| 38535 | Could one imagine such a householder in his right mind committing burglary and murder in order to economize a dollar a week? |
| 38535 | Could she turn English Colonies into German ones, and win an overseas empire by the sword, as England won hers in the past? |
| 38535 | DO THE WARLIKE NATIONS INHERIT THE EARTH? |
| 38535 | Did not someone once say that the war had made Germany great and Germans small? |
| 38535 | Do not, in short, all the factors show that sheer physical force is losing its prestige as much in the national as in the personal relationship? |
| 38535 | Do we not here get an illustration of the fact that intangible economic forces are setting at nought the force of arms? |
| 38535 | Do we not inevitably arrive at the destination to which every road in this discussion leads? |
| 38535 | Do we place national vanity, for instance, on the same plane as individual vanity? |
| 38535 | Does Mr. Churchill suppose that these millions know, or think, this struggle one for a mere luxury, or whim? |
| 38535 | Does a modern nation need to expand its political boundaries in order to provide for increasing population? |
| 38535 | Does anyone seriously contend that the conditions of modern life have not modified psychology in these matters? |
| 38535 | Does anyone seriously pretend that the present system of British Colony- holding is due to British philanthropy or high- mindedness? |
| 38535 | Does anyone think of paying deference to the Russian_ mujik_ because he happens to belong to one of the biggest empires territorially? |
| 38535 | Does conquered territory add to the wealth of the conquering nation? |
| 38535 | Does it inspire Europe with any especial respect? |
| 38535 | Does it mean that Britain shall slay in cold blood sixty or seventy millions of men, women, and children? |
| 38535 | Does not my critic really see that this whole notion of national possessions benefiting the individual is founded on mystification, upon an illusion? |
| 38535 | Does that mean that the inferior race is replaced by the superior? |
| 38535 | Does the Catholic or the Protestant really stand in danger of such things from his religious rival? |
| 38535 | Does the military prowess of Russia or of Turkey inspire any particular satisfaction in the minds of the individual Russian or of the individual Turk? |
| 38535 | Does this mean that the nature of these populations has fundamentally altered in less than a generation? |
| 38535 | Face to face with this manifestation, who is the man bold enough to say that force is never a remedy? |
| 38535 | Failing such effort and such response, what are we to look for? |
| 38535 | For what has happened to all attempts to live on extorted tribute? |
| 38535 | For what is the effect of this increase on the minds of Germans possibly disposed to disagree with Bernhardi? |
| 38535 | Had we yet arrived at the point at which it was possible to make the matter plain to general opinion? |
| 38535 | Has not the day gone by when educated men can calmly assume that any Englishman is worth three foreigners? |
| 38535 | Has such a thing ever happened in the past, when our impulses and"sporting"instincts came into conflict with our larger social and economic interests? |
| 38535 | Have not the Balkan peoples redeemed War from the charges too readily brought against it as simply an instrument of barbarism? |
| 38535 | Have not these forces begun already to affect the psychological domain with which we are now especially dealing? |
| 38535 | Have not we in America the same doctrinal struggle which is going on in France and Germany and Great Britain? |
| 38535 | Have questions of profit and loss, economic considerations, anything whatever to do with this war? |
| 38535 | Have they left it unaffected? |
| 38535 | Have we not already realized the absurdity involved? |
| 38535 | Have we not had about enough of this ignorant chatter, which is persistently blind to the simplest and most elementary facts of the case? |
| 38535 | Have we the power to do it?" |
| 38535 | Having decided on that aim, what utility is there in showing that it is an undesirable one? |
| 38535 | He adds: Are thieving, and lying, and looting, and bestial talk very bad things? |
| 38535 | He will ask in triumph,"What will you do if one of your own order openly insults you? |
| 38535 | How can you have these things if energy is wasted in military adventure? |
| 38535 | How do we know that these difficulties are doctrinaire ones? |
| 38535 | How does this distinction affect the practical problem under discussion? |
| 38535 | How far does such a conception correspond to the reality-- to the German conception? |
| 38535 | How has it become impossible for one nation to take by conquest the wealth of another for the benefit of the people of the conqueror? |
| 38535 | How is war going to affect the question one way or another? |
| 38535 | How long separates us from that scene? |
| 38535 | How many mines have been transferred from their then owners to the British Government, as the result of British victory? |
| 38535 | How much tribute does the Government of Westminster exact as the result of investing two hundred and fifty millions in the enterprise? |
| 38535 | How would Germany impose upon a vanquished England commercial arrangements which would impoverish the vanquished and enrich the victor? |
| 38535 | How would it benefit her people to do so? |
| 38535 | How would she treat such a European empire? |
| 38535 | How, indeed, could it be otherwise? |
| 38535 | How, therefore, would England''s final crushing of Germany in the military sense change anything? |
| 38535 | IS THE POLITICAL REFORMATION POSSIBLE? |
| 38535 | If Germany could conquer England, would any ordinary German subject be the better for it? |
| 38535 | If it costs England a billion and a quarter to conquer Dutch South Africa, what would it cost Germany to conquer Anglo- Dutch South Africa? |
| 38535 | If it is asked,"Why does invasion threaten more terrible consequences to us than it does to our neighbors?" |
| 38535 | If means other than force give the same result more easily, with less effort to ourselves, why discuss the abstract right? |
| 38535 | If that could be said of the Kotze affair, what shall be said of the state of things which has been revealed by Maximilien Harden among others? |
| 38535 | If the traders of little nations can snap their fingers at the great war lords, why do British traders need_ Dreadnoughts_? |
| 38535 | If we can not carry a principle to its logical conclusion, at what point are we to stop? |
| 38535 | If we have not faith in our own principles, to whom shall we look? |
| 38535 | In other words, how many shares in the gold- mines does the British Government hold? |
| 38535 | In that case, what, in the name of all that is muddleheaded, becomes of the"unchanging tendency towards warfare"? |
| 38535 | In the book to which I have just referred( Mr. Steevens''"With Kitchener to Khartoum") one may read the following: And the Dervishes? |
| 38535 | In what way are the two attitudes contradictory? |
| 38535 | In what way can her carrying trade or any other trade be said to depend upon military power? |
| 38535 | Is England going to protect herself against the commercial"aggression"of Switzerland by building a dozen more_ Dreadnoughts_? |
| 38535 | Is War impossible? |
| 38535 | Is it astonishing that the labor of twenty million souls makes some stir in the industrial world? |
| 38535 | Is it futile? |
| 38535 | Is it likely that such a process would have the stamp and touch of closeness to real things? |
| 38535 | Is it not a commonplace that in India, quite as much as in the New World, the trader and the settler drove out the soldier and the conqueror? |
| 38535 | Is it not a little childish? |
| 38535 | Is it not time that we shook off the influence of those disastrous words? |
| 38535 | Is it possible for a nation to"own"the territory of another in the way that a person or corporation would"own"an estate? |
| 38535 | Is it unlikely? |
| 38535 | Is it worthy of the_ Spectator_? |
| 38535 | Is not force a remedy, and at times the only remedy? |
| 38535 | Is not precisely the same thing taking place with reference to the conflicting conceptions of life which now separate men in Christendom? |
| 38535 | Is not the failure of Spain explicable by the fact that she failed to realize this truth? |
| 38535 | Is not war therefore inevitable and must we not prepare diligently for it? |
| 38535 | Is that the way efficient Germany would set about the development of her newly- acquired Empire? |
| 38535 | Is there anything in European history-- Cambronne, the Light Brigade, anything you like-- more magnificent than this? |
| 38535 | Is this serious criticism? |
| 38535 | It is not a question of Englishmen saying,"Let the German come,"but of the German saying,"Why should we go?" |
| 38535 | Men are little disposed to listen to reason,"therefore we should not talk reason"--Are men''s ideas immutable? |
| 38535 | Men are little disposed to listen to reason,"therefore we should not talk reason"--Are men''s ideas immutable? |
| 38535 | More and more is religious effort being subjected to this test: Does it make for the improvement of society? |
| 38535 | Moreover, if what"we"write in reviews and books does not touch men''s reasons, does not affect their conduct, why do we write at all? |
| 38535 | Must they not fight for 1250 million dollars of yearly commerce?" |
| 38535 | Need it be said that I have not the least desire to deprecate sincere emotion as a factor in progress? |
| 38535 | Need it be said that the writer of these lines does not desire to represent Germans as a whole as more corrupt than their neighbors? |
| 38535 | Now the question arises: What more can a navy do that it has not done for England in Canada? |
| 38535 | Now, do these things constitute, as a national policy, an inspiring aim, or not? |
| 38535 | Now, how does such hostility as that indicated in this passage differ from the hostility which marks international differences in our day? |
| 38535 | Of what use is domination unless there be individual capacity, social training, industrial resources, to profit thereby? |
| 38535 | Or would we urge that to do so is the way to carry on a trade or to govern a nation or that it could be the basis of human relationship? |
| 38535 | Or, do those who talk of"unchanging human nature"and"thousands of years"really plead that we are in danger of a repetition of such a scene? |
| 38535 | SYNOPSIS What are the fundamental motives that explain the present rivalry of armaments in Europe, notably the Anglo- German? |
| 38535 | Suppose she could conquer Switzerland and Belgium with her_ Dreadnoughts_, would not the trade of Switzerland and Belgium go on all the same? |
| 38535 | Suppose the others reply by increasing their military force? |
| 38535 | That if he threatens to kill me, I am not to defend myself, because"the individual citizens are not allowed to settle their differences by force"? |
| 38535 | The reader deems these platitudes beside the mark? |
| 38535 | Then, when he realizes this truth, shall we not at least have made some progress towards laying the foundations for a sane international polity? |
| 38535 | Was it the mere hazards of war which gave to Great Britain the domination of India and half of the New World? |
| 38535 | Was there any doubt as to the reality of the material facts involved? |
| 38535 | Well, now that England has won the war, how many gold- mines has she captured? |
| 38535 | Well, what is the result? |
| 38535 | Were they, and the rank and file, still too enslaved by the hypnotism of an obsolete terminology to accept a new view? |
| 38535 | What are the facts? |
| 38535 | What are the facts? |
| 38535 | What are the facts? |
| 38535 | What are the motives which each State thus fears its neighbors may obey? |
| 38535 | What created the police and made them possible, if it was not the general recognition of the fact that disorder and aggression make trade impossible? |
| 38535 | What do I mean by this sense of collective responsibility? |
| 38535 | What do we mean when we speak of the money of a nation, or the self- interest of a community? |
| 38535 | What does the"extinction"of Germany mean? |
| 38535 | What does this sort of thing mean? |
| 38535 | What has Pacifism, Old or New, to say now? |
| 38535 | What has a particularly competent German to say to Mr. Blatchford''s generalization? |
| 38535 | What has been the precise effect on French prosperity? |
| 38535 | What has effected this change? |
| 38535 | What has happened? |
| 38535 | What interest have we in attempting to prevent her? |
| 38535 | What is a career of unwarlike ease, in Mr. Roosevelt''s phrase? |
| 38535 | What is a leader or a ruler in a modern parliamentary sense? |
| 38535 | What is a market? |
| 38535 | What is it that France desires in her Colonies? |
| 38535 | What is it to be"moderately"peaceful, or"moderately"warlike? |
| 38535 | What is the meaning of this? |
| 38535 | What is the practical outcome of the situation which the facts detailed in the last chapter make plain? |
| 38535 | What is the real guarantee of the good behavior of one State to another? |
| 38535 | What is the real process of war? |
| 38535 | What is the result? |
| 38535 | What must inevitably happen if the nations take the line of the"practical man,"and limit their energies simply and purely to piling up armaments? |
| 38535 | What of the abominable scandals that have marked German military life of late years? |
| 38535 | What other means have succeeded? |
| 38535 | What result does this carry? |
| 38535 | What sort of nature should we expect those savage heroes to display? |
| 38535 | What then? |
| 38535 | What was one of the reasons leading to the cessation of religious wars between States? |
| 38535 | What was the problem confronting the merchant adventurer of the sixteenth century? |
| 38535 | What was the real origin of the bank crisis of 1907 in the United States, which had for American business men such disastrous consequences? |
| 38535 | What were the larger motives that pushed England into war with the Dutch Republics? |
| 38535 | What will become of the strenuous life if you introduce police? |
| 38535 | What would be its condition if practically not a single ship could leave or enter it? |
| 38535 | What would be the result of such an action on the part of a German army in London? |
| 38535 | What would be the situation in Britain, therefore, on the morrow of a conflict in which that country was successful? |
| 38535 | What would she get, and what would be the result? |
| 38535 | What would you have had me reply to those Germans?" |
| 38535 | What, however, is the outcome of spending a billion and a quarter of dollars upon the accomplishment of these objects? |
