Excerpt from The True and the False Pasifism A young man, a student of law at the University of Brussels, at once, with the audacity of his age, became a competitor. The jury, having received some sixty essays - many of them rather considerable affairs - was still far from the end of its labours, When from a clear sky there fell the thunderbolt of the war of 1870, followed by the insurrection of the Commune. The student of Brussels had almost dismissed the thought of his manuscript from his mind, when, in the spring of 1872, he learnt that the jury, having faithfully resumed its work, had awarded the prize between three competitors, and that he was one of those successful persons. The members of the jury invited him, more over, to publish his work, the tone of which its title, Disarm or Perish, sufficiently suggests. In it the author unreservedly recommended disarmament, not neces sarily by the nations acting together and in agreement, but through the birth of a spontaneous, instant, and unrecompensed movement among all those peoples longing to rid themselves of that rivalry in military preparedness Which - already at that time - appeared to be urging Europe.
