Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from International Problems and Hague Conferences
Has neither the time nor the taste for adding another set of technicalities to those which he has already learned for the purposes of his own business or profession. He is well aware that every great power is an important member of a society of states, and he wishes his own country to play a prominent part in international affairs. But how they are regulated he knows not; and this new organisation called the Hague Conference is more of a puzzle to him the more he reads the conflicting views he finds in the periodical press. Is it to be con demmed or approved, supported or opposed If he turns to the following pages for guidance, he will, I trust, find set forth in intelligible English facts and reasonings which will help him in coming to a wise conclusion. The zealot for war at all price, and the enthusiast for peace at any price, will not be satisfied. But the sober-minded advocates of justice and righteous ness will discover ample reason for the belief that inter: national society has thrown up in the Hague Conference a most powerful organ, whose possibilities for good need to be developed by the persistent efforts of every lover of his kind.
