The Necessity of international Moral.


 Treftschke recognized the difference between a moral and an immoral state. He had strong words of condemnation for the statesmen who broke treaties, or tried to annex territory which they could not assimilate. But he based his condemnation on grounds of self-in- terest or, at best, of self-respect. It was a weak point in Treitschke's whole system of thought that he failed to recognize the importance of tnterna- tional public opinion fin defining and giving force to political morality. that can judge the state-this was a position that he asserted constantly and vigorously. and he was never weary of denouncing the sentimental ists who held different view. If he had contented himself with saying that and that under the circumstances many of the principles of international morality were interpreted by each na- ton to suit itself, he would have been undoubtedly right. But when he said that there was no international tri- bunal. he over- stated his case. There Is a tribunal of international public opinion. It's powers are i1l-defined, but it's Judgements are terribly effec- tive. There are certain usages to which a nation must conform. under penalty of turning allies into neutra1s and neutrals into enemies: and the hope for the future of civilization lies in making each people see that the world vii judge and punish the nation which assumes the right to ignore such usages at it's own pleasure. How Treitschke, with all his keennes;s of vision and his devotion to the advance ment of moral ideals. could have failed to, recognize the dangers involved in his teaching remains an inexplicabIe problem Arthur T. Hadlev in the January Yale Review.
