Political Deontology

If then the effect of this image be delusion wh, of
this delusion where shall we find the origin?

Answer in the real propriety of the image when applied
to a proper subject.

In international law – in that state of things
which between the per nation and nation
the power of one nation and the power of another
nation is really the desirable one it found
this that its desirable proper object.

How? In what way ... In this way. Between the power of one each
of two nations
nation considered as exercisable on and in relation
to the other what is really desirable is – that it more desired
to be exercised. But between nation and nation or
between one nation or association of nations and another
the more the stock of power is to equally
the greater is the probability that no such exercise of
power shall take place. In this state of things there
is to be found not merely the universal existence
of all nations, but the existence of all in that sort
of relation to one another which for the sake of peace
and all that felicity which depends upon peace
is most desirable.

But within the precincts of each nation suppose
the like absence of all exercise of power – the like state
of inaction and that state a continued one, what is
the consequence? The consequence has been seen already:
not prosperity felicity not even existence – but destruction,
compleat destruction.
