Abstract

The International Situation

Moore, John Bassett | October 5, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

A very prevalent fallacy may be found in the assumption that the conditions of international life have been radically changed by improved means of transportation and communication, but here again, as in all matters, the principle of relativity must be applied. Steamships, telegraphs, and telephones are not the monopoly of any nation, and previous centuries have had world-wide wars without any of those devices. The conditions of essential importance as affecting the present international situation are, as heretofore, political rather than physical.
