INTRODUCTION

Newer ideals of peace are dynamic; if made operative will do away with war as a natural process 3

Of the older ideals the appeal to pity is dogmatic 4

The appeal to the sense of prudence also dogmatic and at this moment seems impotent 5

Outlook for universal peace by international arbitration 6

Primitive and profound impulses operate against impulse to war 8

Appeal to pity and prudence unnecessary if the cosmopolitan interest in human affairs is utilized 9

Social morality originates in social affections 11

Emotion determines social relations in the poorer quarters of a cosmopolitan city 13

New immigrants develop phenomenal powers of association 14

Their ideal of government includes kindliness as well as protection 15

Crowded city quarters the focal point of governmental progress 16

Life at these points must shape itself with reference to the demands of social justice 17

Simple foundations laid there for an international order 18

Ideals formed “in the depth of anonymous life” make for realization 20

Impulses toward compassionate conduct imperative 21

The internationalism of good will foreseen by the philosopher 23

A quickening concern for human welfare; international aspects illustrated by world-wide efforts to eradicate tuberculosis, first signs of the substitution of nurture for warfare 25

Accounting must be taken between survivals of militarism and manifestations of newer humanitarianism 28

Tendency to idealization marked eighteenth-century humanitarian 29

Newer ideals of this century sustained only by knowledge and companionship 30
