...great nations of the world is a return to primitive industrial methods the resuscitation of feudalism and the economy of the village. Obviously the ruling interests, in whatever country, cannot permit the reaction to go so far as this, and their only alternative will be a series of imperialist wars with the object of national enslavement. At present Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Hitler, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Mussolini, and, I dare say, M. Daladier's successor are each aiming for the vast golden apple of imperialism, expansion of exports and restriction of imports. Each of them has stated this explicitly. None...
...Rabid imperialist, Rhodes once sneered at British policy as "philanthropy-plus 5%." Sometimes called a coward, Rhodes quitted himself like a brave man when the Matabele ran amuck and were proving costly to subdue. Unarmed, with a few companions, Rhodes went among the Matabele warriors, persuaded the chiefs to air their grievances and lay down their arms. Only big mistake of Rhodes's career, which cost him the loyalty of many a South African, was the Jameson Raid into the Transvaal, which it was hoped would finish President ("Oom Paul") Kruger and his Boers, bring the Transvaal into Rhodes...
Since the signing of the Armistice, in 1918, about twenty wars of varying size have been fought all over the world. There were the Imperialist and Polish wars against the Soviet Union, the Grace-Turkish fracas, the Poles versus Galicia, the Afghan invasion of India, and the war between Roumauta and Hungary.

For the last few years Japan has been grappling with China in the same region; while in South America there...

Einstein is affiliated with the War Resisters International, the World Congress Against Imperialist War, and the Workers International Relief. Mrs. Frothingham's letter to the head of the visa department at Washington points out that in the past nonentities have been refused admittance and expelled for having views even less radical than those of Dr. Einstein. It protests against giving preference to the scientist. A test case arises here challenging the consistency of the lawn...
Inevitably the puffing of Bavarian monarchists fanned a few German imperialist embers. Two thousand adherents of abdicated Kaiser Wilhelm II gathered at Dresden, were addressed by his daughter-in-law, ex-Crown Princess Cecilie. What she said did not amount to much but she joined in Hochs! and handclaps when General Bock von Wuelfingen went the whole hog, demanded the end of the German Republic and restoration of the House of Hohenzollern. Though this was certainly treason, Dresden police made nothing of it, stood about grinning, saluted ex-Crown Princess Cecilie when she went home...
