The Peace Movement Of America Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Peace Movement of America All great movements that mean to benefit the race require disinterested leadership and popular support. The peace movement is no exception. In the past, men and women with noble purpose have worked inspiringly to the end that warfare may be abolished. In America in the United States, in Canada, and the Latin-American republics - there never was a time when international harmony appeared to signify more to the welfare of the world than it does to-day. In Europe and in the Far East, the peace movement is advancing more slowly, yet no less irresistibly than in the western hemisphere. A book dealing with the peace movement in America must of necessity be somewhat fragmentary. Where so many swiftly changing factors enter into the international scheme for amity, not too much can be expected from the marshalling of data considerable of which is so recent as to preclude it from being historic. At the same time, the very freshness of the American peace movement, its spontaneity - with ranks augmented and strengthened leadership - would seem to call for consideration.
