Abstract
THE annual report of the Director of the Division of Intercourse and Education of the Carnegie Endow ment for International Peace for 1936 pleads for further support for genuine world organization and collective security through an effective world police force. Dr. Murray Butler refers to the existence of a deep-seated popular sentiment against war and to the necessity of this opinion finding expression not merely in emotional outbursts but also in support of definite policies of social, economic and political co-operation and the substitution of judicial process for the threat of force in settling international differences. The advocates of economic nationalism and of neutrality, he said, are making a most insidious attack upon the foundations of prosperity and of peace, for the first involves ultimate national suicide and world-wide disaster and the latter neglect of the highest international obligations. Dr. Butler pointed out that the wars which are most threatening at the present time are between fundamental philo sophies of life and of public order, and he referred to the dangers confronting democratic nations.
