In forty years this commerce has increasedfrom two billions to thirty billions. Giant corporations have ignoredpolitical boundaries, carried trade wherever profitable, and aresupplying the varied demands of entire communities. Tariff walls, butlately effective barriers, are crumbling before the onslaught oftrade. Nations are no longer independent. The wheat from Canada andthe Dakotas feeds the mill workers of Sheffield and the nobility ofBerlin. The failure of the Georgia cotton crop halts the ...looms ofEngland and raises the cost of living throughout Europe. Nations canno longer exist as self-sufficient economic units. Never before werethey so mutually interdependent. Never before has the welfare andsecurity of one state depended upon the enterprise and diligence ofanother. And the movement for international peace is the chanceoffspring of these new social forces, at once a protest and a warningagainst the wrecking of modern economic structures by the ruthlesshand of war. Commerce, the most important of these new forces, flourishesunprejudiced by armaments and military prestige.
