الصفحة 5 - Of the three popes, John the Twenty-third was the first victim: he fled and was brought back a prisoner: the most scandalous charges were suppressed; the vicar of Christ was only accused of piracy, murder, rape, sodomy, and incest...
الصفحة 1 - For there is no doubt that mankind is once more on the move. The very foundations have been shaken and loosened, and things are again fluid. The tents have been struck, and the great caravan of humanity is once more on the march.
الصفحة 51 - , he wrote, "and the League of Nations must be the heir to this great estate. The peoples left behind by the decomposition of Russia, Austria, and Turkey, are mostly untrained politically ; many of them are either incapable of or deficient in power of self-government; they are mostly destitute and will require much nursing towards economic and political independence.
الصفحة 51 - Surely the only statesmanlike course is to make the league of nations the reversionary in the broadest sense \ of these empires. In this debacle of the old Europe the league of nations is no longer an outsider or stranger, but the natural master of the house. It becomes naturally and obviously the solvent for a problem which no other means will solve.
الصفحة 38 - ... economic and financial measures as may be demanded by the League of Nations against a covenant-breaking state, and is prepared to make every sacrifice to defend her own territory under every circumstance, even during operations undertaken by the League of Nations, but will not be obliged to take part in any military action or to allow the passage of foreign troops or the preparation of military operations within her territory.
الصفحة 67 - The ultimate responsibility is with the people more even than with the Government. It is a testing time for democracy. Many are those who would pay, and do pay, lip service to it. But I remember that democracy is after all but the government of the people by the people through their freely elected representatives, and unless the responsibility for that government is felt throughout the length and breadth of the country, from top to bottom, by men and women alike, democracy itself will fail.
الصفحة 51 - The vital principles are: the principle of nationality involving the ideas of political freedom and equality; the principle of autonomy, which is the principle of nationality extended to peoples not yet capable of complete independent statehood; the principle of political decentralisation, which will prevent the powerful nationality from swallowing the weak autonomy as has so often happened in the now defunct European empires...
الصفحة 51 - That sad, obscure,2 anarchic3 state Where God unmakes, but to remake the world He else made first in vain, which must not be. The question is: What new political form shall be given to these elements of our European civilization ? On the answer to that question depends the future of Europe and of the world. My broad contention* is that the smaller, embryonic, unsuccessful leagues of nations have been swept away, not to leave an empty house for national individualism5 or anarchy but for a larger and...
الصفحة 67 - ... education, for further vision than any form of government known in this world. It has not lasted long yet in the West, and it is only by those like ourselves who believe in it making it a success that we can hope to see it permanent and yielding those fruits which it ought to yield. The assertion of people's rights has never yet provided that people with bread. The performance of their duties, and that alone...
الصفحة 79 - State, can serve any purpose save that of clouding and befogging the clearest of issues. Temporal Power is of the very essence of the institution of the Khilafat, and Musalmans can never agree to any change in its character, or to the dismemberment of its Empire. The no less important question of the Jazirat-ul-Arab, over no portion of which can any kind of non-Muslim control be tolerated, is, equally clearly not one of Muslim sentiment, but of Islamic faith. Similarly...
