Abstract
IF civilization is to survive, a super-national organization will have to be set up in order to restrain the ambition and moderate the selfishness of competing national States. We can no longer afford political anarchy: the world is too small, industry too complex, science too powerful. Our experience with the League of Nations, however, has taught us that the problem is not to be solved merely at the organizational or institutional level. Federations, leagues, world governments will not function unless there exists a public opinion capable of sustaining and animating them.
