Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An International Police: To Guarantee the World's Peace
From all sides comes the cry: Let us be active. What is the good of having a peace society unless it does some thing Exactly. What is the good of having a fire bri gade unless it puts out the fires? But what would you think of a fire brigade that would limit its activity to holding monthly meetings to listen to reports on the damage done by fire and to ask in astonishment why that damage was allowed to continue? Would you call such a fire brigade active? An active fire brigade is one which gets hold of a fire-engine and throws water on the fire.
