ABSTRACT
T h e maintenance of world peace and the removal of the causes that may lead to war have now assumed a primary importance in human affairs. Asia and Africa are no less concerned in this than Europe, because past experience has shown that if war breaks out between the Powers it tends to spread in wider and wider circles. We are assured, also, by those who know the facts that the suffering and anarchy caused by the last war are likely to be as nothing compared with the horrors of a future conflict.
