ABSTRACT
If little can be hoped from democracy or socialism, does that mean that there is no hope? Does the theory, that 'war is due to human nature' hold the field with its gloomy scepticism over the existence or efficiency of any social therapy whatever? We think not. Some psychologists, impressed by the weight of their own evidence, have concluded so. We think that they are mistaken and that a more just appreciation of all the evidence indicates a method of procedure and a moderate hope of success.
