Excerpt from Via Pacis: How Terms of Peace Can Be Automatically Prepared While the War Is Still Going On; A Suggestion Offered by an American; Written December 1915, Issued in Private Print July 1916, Now Put Forward for Consideration by the Public
AT present all eyes are on the War; but while the soldiers are fighting, Statesmanship is confined to home or kindred activities, and Diplomacy only at odd moments and by indi rect methods is feeling its way.
The war is in the open; diplomacy is under cover. In the war, there is a continuous point of contact; in diplomacy, there is no point of contact. In the war, by the grinding pro cess of months, each side knows pretty well the status of the other and can. Reckon with it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a collective plan to bring peace during times of war. Recognizing that every war has an ultimate end, the author presents a method to initiate open and honest discussion of peace terms. The plan involves neutral countries serving as custodians of peace terms presented by warring nations; these terms would be outlined and exchanged at agreed-upon intervals rather than attempted through negotiation at the end of the war. The author argues that the adoption of this plan will reduce the cost of war and the accompanying loss of human life by shortening the war's duration and ultimately leading to genuine peace. It presents a unique perspective on ending war by shifting focus from the battlespace to the peace table. By proposing a structured and incremental approach to peacemaking, the author encourages nations to consider the ultimate goal of war during the conflict, promoting more thoughtful and strategic approaches to peace while simultaneously preserving human life and resources.
