Preface. This book is meant as a challenge. It is addressed to pacifists and non-pacifists alike. Its purpose is to bid them reflect upon the " peace " of which they often speak. For twenty years I have thought upon peace. Of " peace literature " I have read my fill ; and I might have been loth to add this volume to the huge pile of what has already been written and printed had not contact with audiences in this country as well as in France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United States and formerly Germany led me to believe that the views of peace and war which I have come to hold are not only sound in themselves but are felt to be sound by fe ordinary " or " common " folk whenever and wherever they are clearly stated. <strong>...</strong></p>Steed Henry Wickham - A way to social peaceurn:md5:9305eda8318b8b02d616f4265893e3902014-07-14T19:28:00+01:002014-07-14T19:28:00+01:00balderSteed Henry WickhamCommunismEnglandFascismHébraïsmeTroisième Reich <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Steed_Henry_Wickham_-_A_way_to_social_peace.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. Any man who speaks or writes on "Social Peace" is bound to offer some warrant for so doing. It is not enough that he should desire it, nor may his own unaided cogitations upon it justify him in inflicting them on others. My own warrant is, perhaps, slender. It is not the fruit of long working experience of industrial conditions, and it lacks the hall-mark of any recognized school of economic or social thought. To some extent it is individual; and, if my cogitations have not been entirely unaided, if they have been stimulated by the thoughts of others, it is none the less true that they are mainly the outcome of personal observation and study in several countries during the past forty years. So, by way of introduction, I shall set forth, as briefly as maybe and without excessive modesty, the premises from which I started and the course which circumstances led me to follow. <strong>...</strong></p>Steed Henry Wickham - A short history of Austria-Hungary and Polandurn:md5:06ca1952209a104e424ee663d89aff912014-07-14T19:25:00+01:002014-07-14T18:26:05+01:00balderSteed Henry WickhamAustriaHungaryIsraëlJewPoland <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Steed_Henry_Wickham_-_A_short_history_of_Austria-Hungary_and_Poland.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. AUSTRIA-HUNGARY, or the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (Ger. Osterreichisch-ungarische Monarchie or Osterreichisch-ungarisches Reich), is the official name of a country situated in central Europe, bounded E. by Russia and Rumania, S. by Rumania, Servia, Turkey and Montenegro, W. by the Adriatic Sea, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the German empire, and N. by the German empire and Russia. It occupies about the sixteenth part of the total area of Europe, with an area (1905) of 239,977 sq. m. The monarchy consists of two independent states : the kingdoms and lands represented in the council of the empire (Reichsrat), unofficially called Austria or Cisleithania, because its territories lie west of the river Leitha ; and the " lands of St Stephen's Crown," unofficially called Hungary or Transleithania, i.e. across the Leitha. <strong>...</strong></p>Steed Henry Wickham - A programme for peaceurn:md5:daf407ca7e2e97263692c2c4e46434f42014-07-14T19:22:00+01:002014-07-14T19:22:00+01:00balderSteed Henry WickhamEnglandEuropeEuropeFirst World WarGermanyIsraëlJewLondonReligionRitual murderRitualsSatanismTalmud <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Steed_Henry_Wickham_-_A_programme_for_peace.jpg" alt="" /><br />

On the morning of Saturday, March 4, the thirteenth day of the battle of Verdun, I stood, with others on a low spur to the north-west of the town and heard, rather than watched, the preparation of the second German attack upon the village of Douaumont. A few hundred yards below us French batteries were snapping out defiance at the invisible German guns across the Meuse and beyond the nearest heights. <strong>...</strong></p>Steed Henry Wickham - The Hapsburg monarchyurn:md5:7b447c07d73f95c23801c12177429fd42014-06-02T21:55:00+01:002014-06-02T20:57:47+01:00balderSteed Henry WickhamAustriaGermanyTarot <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Steed_Henry_Wickham_-_The_Hapsburg_monarchy.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface to the third edition. The First Edition of this book appeared in October 1913. In the preface to the Second Edition, issued last May, I wrote, " No important event has occurred to render necessary the employment of the past tense where in the First Edition the present tense was used. ... If Francis Joseph's successor be granted health and the mental stability that goes with health, it is probable that the transition from the old reign to the new will take place without hitch or shock." Since then there has happened much to render necessary the use of the past tense not only in regard to the late Heir -Presumptive, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and his wife the Duchess of Hohenberg, who were assassinated at Serajevo on June 28, but to suggest doubt whether the past tense may not soon have to be used in regard to the Hapsburg Monarchy itself. <strong>...</strong></p>
