STRANGE it is that men and nations still think of peace as a passive or negative condition. One reason the world is seeing so much war to-day is this tend- ency of the human mind to take its case, this reluctance to face unpleasant issues, Many an in- dividual has proved that he could not evade the constant conflict between good and evil and that only by meeting and overcoming evil-fear, hate, greed-could he find peace.

The frontier community which tried to appease outlaws only increased the reign of injustice and crime until drastic measures had to be taken. A few years ago racketeering and kidnapping reached alarming proportions in the United States. There was no peace in letting them spread. Something of the same condition has now dove- loped in International affairs.
