Abstract
THE growth of economic nationalism during the last four or five years has in itself been directly responsible for some deterioration in the international situation through its effect on international trade and economic policy. Much more serious, however, has been its influence on the development of re-armament policies mutually inconsistent with and opposed to the principles of collective security. Formidable as are these dangers, they are but slight compared with those which arise from the orientation of national policy in certain countries in accordance with a militaristic spirit and a glorification of war itself, closely allied to the militarism which in pre-War Germany was a primary factor in precipitating conflict.
