Moreover, If The Territorial State Is To Continue As The Last Word In The Development Of Society, Then War Is Inevitable.

History Shows Us That Other Highly Developed Forms Of Civilization Have Collapsed. Who Knows Whether The Same Fate Does Not Await Our Own?

The Theoretically Unrestricted Right To Develop Power, To Wage War Against Other States, Is Antisocial And Is Doubly Dangerous, Because The State As A Mass Entity Represents A Low Moral And Intellectual Level.

Modern Techniques Have Torn Down State Frontiers, Both Economical And Intellectual. The Growth Of Means Of Transport Has Created A World Market And An Opportunity For Division Of Labor Embracing All The Developed And Most Of The Undeveloped States.
