Iniversaiism. to the desire to rule,
more aptly, the name, lndividualism.
.tniversalism is said to have an cS-
tornal and an internal aspect. En-
tcrnally 1t implies the suhOrdinatiun
of the interest of any particular state
to that of the world AT large. inter-
nally II implies the slhordination of
the individual to the community.
Pushed to its logical extreme. univcr-
snlism will entruSt the ruler with the
direction of it's most private activities.
Government viii tend toward dos-
potism. liberty viii bc valued less
highly than the complete organization
of civic lie II is also the case. Mir.
Jane thinks. that the party wh!ch
most %zcaloualy champions the rights
of the individual Is also most cal;"r
to submit all external disputes To an
arbiter. The mcmbcrs of the Peace
, Society in the Victorian age were re-
cruitcd mainly from sturdy individual
lists.
In the chapter on the "Gcneral
Character of the Conflict Mr.. Jane
says that nations which have cast of
"A foreign yoke tend to organize their
Government on a popular basis.
Switzerland. the Dutch Republic and
! the United states are Instances Of the
internal result of u war OF liberation.
Wherever an internal d~cspotism has
been destroyed there is an immediate
tendency toward self-assertion as
against foreign States; Il struggle for
mere Independence Is mo- in|frouuont'N
followed 10y n war of aggression abroad
The history of France after 1883 sup
plies the best instance of this fact.
though other examples may ~" found
in the case of sweden under Nasa
and the Dutch Republic after its de-
livcrance from Spain. II seems. he
writes. equally true that n dcSpotisin
is on the who'll less able to resist for
cign aggression. The d%ospotism exist
ing only by reason of the desire Ia

ferent and careless rs to whether they
fall beneath "A foreign yoke ar not.
The cities of Greece crushed 10y the
LacedTmonian rule accepted the peac,
OF Antalcidas. The Italian Republics
having defeated Frederic Rarbarossa
offered little opposition to tn" NalIi'
and the ii~apsburgs. The opposition
to French aggression. whether under
the Bourbons or after the revolution
came generally from those state
which had rejected iuternal univcr'
sIlism.
While every state is tending towar'
total universalism or total individual
ism the actual logical conclusion Il
never quite reached. The extreme -

he should add To these the endowment

this Mr.. Jane feels that the historian

thereto some definite principle of in

drama.
This il exactly the point at which
