Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on World Peace, Including International Arbitration and Disarmament Advocates of World Peace have proposed two means for its achievement. One is International Arbitration, the other, Disarmament. Debaters, it is found, have, in most cases, chosen to consider these two means to the same end separately, debating either a question such as: Resolved that an international court of arbitration should be established; or, Resolved that the time is now ripe for the disarmament of nations. In practice, it is probable that the two would work out together. Nations would not agree to disarm until some satisfactory arrangement had been made for the arbitration of difficulties, while on the other hand, the general practice of resorting to arbitration would make the continued maintenance of armaments unnecessary. It was decided, therefore, that this handbook should cover the whole subject of world peace, making the question one of the substitution of law for force, with arbitration and disarmament considered as joint means to that end. Debaters may still prefer to divide the question; in which case they will find in this volume material bearing on either phase that they may choose. The work was begun with the thought that the question would turn on the possibility of bringing about world peace. It was learned with some surprise that a strong case is still made out by militarists against its desirability. War is still extolled as a nursery for the manly virtues, and the scope of this book has accordingly been broadened to cover the affirmative and negative sides to this contention.
