LESSENING THE TENSION
^ The diffiotilties of raw material supplies, of access to markets, even of over-population prohlems, are the creation firaoh more of ohstacles to the normal movement of goods and people than to the maladministration of political control of territories. Remembering the war mythology of the Fascist countries, their psyohologioal insistence upon prestige through oolonial ownership and the political and economic stresses inherent in their forms of government, it wonld he too optimistie to suggest tha,t an improvement in international economic conditions would alone be sufflcient to remove all danger of war. But at least such an improvement will remove important causes of conflict and by lessening the tension within the Fascist countries — tension due to no small extent to the fear of economic oollapse and the belief that war may offer the only alternative to collapse — make for the creation of a political atmosphere favourable to peaceful polioics." — F. Williams, in Time and Tide.
