The Basis Of Durable Peace PDF Download

Excerpt from The Basis of Durable Peace: Written at the Invitation of the New York Times Recent utterances of the German Chancellor and the British Prime Minister have inclined the discerning public to the belief that the chief men of the warring nations in Europe would now give more hospitable consideration than they have shown in the past to proposals embodying the broad general principles upon which peace must be concluded. Sharing that belief, The New York Times invited, from a source the competence and authority of which would be recognized in both hemispheres, a series of contributions in which the terms of peace should be discussed. As the publication of the series proceeded from day to day the public perceived the candor, the impartial fairness, the breadth of view, and the profound understanding of political principles with which the author weighed and considered the general conditions of peace, and then in turn the policies and interests of each of the Powers engaged in the war. All of them profess a desire for peace upon terms that will insure its permanency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
