War and Human Nature

/ speaking, is the outcome of series
of maneuvers by which the masses
concerned are brought into positions
of opposition.
Obviously. this maneuvering is
not done by the masses themselves.
Collectively and as individuals
they have little if anything to do
with the subtitle and gradual shift
ing Of international relationships.
Their interests are directed to the
more humble and prosaic task Of
earning living.
The maneuvering is done by little
groups of men called governments.
These little groups seek constantly
and naturally to to gain supposed
advantages of one sort and another
for their own nationals.
Out of their efforts to enlarge or
to strengthen or to maintain the in
terests instructed to their charge the
masses they represent are gradually
unanswered into positions which, to
say the least, cannot easily be sur
rendered. If the process continues,
sooner or later a situation arises in
which an agreement between these
small groups becomes impossible.
Then, on the ground that their lives
and families and property are some
how involved and endangered, these
great masses of men and women,
reused by every power Of organized
appeal and propaganda. are ordered
under arms, and war follows.
The entire process is in control of
the smaller groups.
They make the issue.
They declare the war.
The masses they control simply
obey.
Having put this power or left this
power in the hands of their govern
ments, they find themselves at the
critical moment substantially help
less. And so, as individuals, they
merely accept the decision and go
out to pay the bills of war with
their bodies. and perhaps with their
souls, in the hope that if not they,
then those who come after them
may reap a benefit in some measure
proportionate to its cost.
And even the very men through
whose fundamentally. consciously
or unconsciously, this dreadful cata-
strope has been brought about ex-
plain it on the ground that, human
nature being what it is, any other
determination was impossible-and
will be, either now or hereafter.
Now, war may be in fact the in
evitable result Of serious clash OF
national interests. 1t is possible
that no method of reaching peace
full settlement can be devised. But
certainly we have no reason to base
that assumed failure upon some in
herent weakness of human nature.
