The Bok peace prize and the war error in policy
The article discusses an unnamed contestant winning the Bok peace prize for a plan to join the International Court with League of Nations cooperation while avoiding Versailles obligations. It argues that moral influence and public opinion should replace military force and urges education to shape policy against war, noting postwar European strains and a Student Volunteer Convention endorsing education over preparedness. The piece concludes that war’s futility may end future conflicts as propaganda against war gains traction.
