INTRODUCTION. W e live in tragic times. Which of us dare open a newspaper without foreboding ? How long is it going to last, this precarious state of peace that we hold together with such difficulty? W e feel that it is at the mercy of any chance mishap! And for a long while now there has never been any real relaxation of international tension. In 1935 blazed up the Italo-Ethiopian dispute. We were fearful then for Peace. T h e League of Nations was slow in coming to any decision, wasted time, and lost influence. Can we blame it ? Events moved too fast for it, as they are moving too fast for all o us. Many people thought f for a moment that it must mean war. The diplomacies of England and of Italy clashed fiercely. Hard words were uttered. In the end, after a f period o great anxiety, a general war was avoided. A little later, German trocmps re-occupied the Rhineland. International tension became still more tense, Governments knew what it was to be panic-stricken. Once more peace was barely preserved.
