NATIONALISM A STAGE. To condemn nationalism as the cause of our present discontents is just as absurd as to exalt the nation into the permanent unit of human society, possessing absolute and eternal values of its own. The nation is the political unit, and nationalism the group symbol. of the present stage of civilisation. says a study of "Nationalism" published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Meanwhile, those concerned with the conduct of international affairs in the present epoch can only take the nation as a fact (without assuming that it will be eternal) and work to harmonise the divergent points of view of different nations and to diminish the exlent and frequency of resort to violence in the relations between them.
