Note 111 — Chapter III · THE GREAT ILLUSION ARGUMENT
Reading edition
Mr J. L. Garvin, who was among those who bitterly criticised this thesis on account of its ‘sordidness,’ now writes: ‘Armageddon might become almost as frequent as General Elections if belligerency were not restrained by sheer dread of the consequences in an age of economic interdependence when even victory has ceased to pay.’
(Quoted in Westminster Gazette, Jan. 24, 1921.)
