In so far as tariffs are levied by any nation as a necessary means of raising revenue, or in so far as they are, in the judgment of any nation, necessary to the protection of the standard of living of wage-earners or to the diversification of industry, and in so far as they apply equally to all nations, they are compatible with the open door policy in the broad sense. What the open door policy does involve is a changed point of view on the part of those nations which like Germany, France, and the United States, have been too largely under the domination of the notion that all imports are harmful, and that they displace an equal amount of home-made products. So long as any one great nation holds to the false theory that international trade is a mere casual incident to a nation'sbusiness, and sometimes even a detriment to it, just so long will other great nations hold aloof and keep their excluding tariff walls more or less in repair. Whatever is done to make international trade more easy and more general must be done by the common consent of the great commercial nations of the world.There can be little doubt that false and misleading views of international trade have had more to do with the development of those international rivalries and suspicions which preceded and made possible the present war than any other single cause.

THE REAL ISSUE 307 INDEX 315 INTRODUCTION These essays and addresses are appeals to public opin ion which have been made during the years 1938 and 1939 on either side of the Atlantic. Their object is two fold first, to convince the leaders of public opinion that the only sure way to prevent war is for the nations of the world to unite to remove the causes of warj and, second, that, violent hostilities having broken out on three continents, the minds of men must now be turned to such post-war settlement of those differences which have brought about hostilities as will pave the way to an orderly and peaceful world. These two aims and courses of action have been emphasized in differing language and from various points of view, but they have dominated and guided each and every one of these appeals Persistent emphasis on a purely emotional attitude toward war and peace is one of the gravest obstacles to work for the establishment of peace Those who take this attitude appear to think that nothing more is neces sary, The mere holding of mass meetings, the passing of resolutions denouncing war and the making of public demonstrations against war, highly emotional in char acter, serve no practical purpose whatsoever. Nowhere In the world could a public demonstration in favor of war as such be organized by anybody. Yet wars exist. When war, whether declared or undeclared, is begun, xii INTRODUCTION it is because of the fact that populations almost unani mously in favor of peace have not yet been able so to control their governments as to force those govern ments to meet international differences without armed conflict. The peoples of the world are opposed to war. The pressing problem is that they shall so control their several governments as to require these governments to take united action to remove the causes of war... ... Read more
