it. In certain spheres, money plays an unholy role. Certain financial and economic groups are able to
destroy mankind at will." - M. Henry Cheron, French Keeper of the Seal, November13th 1934

"We have grown accustomed to hear it insinuated that all the adventures and anxieties and austerities
of the past half century carried our country on until, in 1940, it came to 'its finest hour'; and that may

A Study of War by Prof. Quincy Wright, shows that in the period from 1480 to 1940 there were 278
