Stability Leads to Peace


A sensible approach to the problem of world
peace is produced by Secretary Of State Hull in
his recent warning that the nations must unite
In an economic program to restore economic
stability before the threat Of war can be
averted.
We do not often stop to remember that
back of almost every war scare there is some
profound maladjustment which exerts an un-
endurable pressure on a people or a group of
peoples. Our disarmament and security confer
ences almost uniformly ignore that fact, and
Tor that reason get nowhere.
Secretary Hulps notion is that if the
tangled economic situation can be unscrambled
first, the attempt to build an enduring peace
will be great deal simpler.
THE necessity was never more apparent"
he says, "for the various countries of the world
to give immediate attention to the matter of
adopting sound and comprehensive economic
program, both domestic and international, and
carrying it forward, to the end that the normal
processes of domestic and international finance
and commerce may be restored and tens of
millions of unemployed wage earners may be
re-employed.
"This would afford solid foundation on
which to rebuild stable peace and political struc-
tures."
Too often we seem to take it for granted
that this or that nation adopts a warlike course
out of pure human cussedness.
We have been very vocal in condemning
Japan's course in Manchuria and China, for in
stance, and we have blamed it largely on the
militarism of an army and navy clique which
has managed to take control of the government.
What we forget is the simple fact that
Japan has faced the prospect of trade depres-
sion and q wave Of unemployment far more
severe than the one through which We have
been passing.
The Japanese people became convinced that
only by gaining access to fresh territories that
would provide expanding markets, and new
sources of raw material could they avert eco
pon1ic disaster.
That is what explains Japan's warlike course
In recent years; and something similar is be-
hind almost every resurgence of the martial
spirit.
Back Of the armies and the navies there are
economic inequalities that drive nations to the
verge of desperation.
This being true, is there not good deal of
sense in Secretary Hull's suggestion? If the
nations Of the world devoted to the job of re-
gaining international economic stability one
half of the effort they devote to preparations to
settle the instability by force of arms, they
ought to be able to go long way toward work.
