Excerpt from The Doom of War
From the small beginnings, as briefly told, peace sentiment extended rapidly in this country and abroad. The first international peace congress was initiated at the headquarters of the American Peace Society in Boston during the month of J uly, 1841, and held in London in 1843, with an attendance of about three hundred delegates. Five years later Elihu Bur ritt, who had founded the League of Universal Broth erhood in 1846, a league of many thousand members on both sides of the ocean, was able to bring together a second and more representative peace congress in Brus sels. The following year, and through Burritt's infin ence. There was organized a third congress in Paris, pre sided over by Victor Hugo, with over delegates in attendance. In 1850 Burritt successfully promoted a fourth international peace congress in Frankfort, and in 1851 a fifth, which was held in London. It is to the credit of his time that Elihu Burritt, one time secretary of the American Peace Society, was recognized as the man of vision, prophet, and seer. It is to the credit of our time that it agrees with James Brown Scott that the lowly son of New Britain has entered into the com pany of the immortals. A congress was held in Edin burgh in 1853, in Geneva 111 1867 in Paris in 1878. In Brussels in 1882, and in Berne 111 1884.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a resounding call for the abolition of international war.

The author presents evidence of the ineffectiveness and inherent immorality of warfare, and draws attention to the extraordinary expense, both financial and human, of maintaining large military forces. This book traces the progress made in the development of peace agencies and international arbitration, highlighting the role of peace societies, congresses, and intergovernmental organizations. It emphasizes the increasing recognition of the need for a more just and peaceful world order, and concludes that the time has come for all nations to commit to the peaceful resolution of conflict.
