True and false news intermingle their effects. All is done to enter- tain a state of alarm in the populations. It appears to be come a system confirmed by ex- perience to create a state of ten- sion of European opinion, in such a way that any solution, even the worst, is received with sigh of relief.

Hitler's drawback and the de- mocracies' advantage are deriv- ed from the fact that the usual procedure has come to be known and is even obsolete.

one.

This attitude of the victorious nations, who really believed that they had organised a last- ing world peace, and had finally founded an international order based upon peace and law, was such a negation of common sense that it was probable that a new world conflagration would have to take place, i.e. a terrible destruction of human civilisa- tion and progress, in order to find a new basis for the organi- sation of pacific relations be- tween the peoples.
