Excerpt from The Possible Peace: A Forecast of World Politics, After the Great War

The world war approaches to an end. I do not mean to say that its end in actual time is near; of that we know nothing; it may last a month more, or a year or three years. But mentally we - America and the world - are in the final stage of the struggle. We are thinking principally of the problems of the settlement. We have passed through the early stages of astonishment, horror and despair. We have emerged from the long months wherein our nervous force was exhausted in hope, expectancy and anger. We are war-weary - however much some of us may attempt to cloak our weariness behind declarations of our tenacity and our invincibility. We are prepared to maintain the present cruel tension as long as necessary; but we realize that the coming of peace, if not imminent, is at least inevitable within the discernible future. And our best thoughts are directed toward that peace we climb so painfully to reach.

What kind of a peace shall it be?
