New Hope For Curbing Wars
Hope for curbing wars Is to be found in a report issued by the
Foundation for the Study of Cycles, at Kiverside, Conn. Since 1800,
there has been a 22-year cycle in the number of international battles,
as shown in this simplified chart, smoothed out to omit minor ups and
downs. There is a tendency for about 11 years of relative peace,
followed by 11 years of relative confl
Scientists are trying to learn the causes behind these war and
peace cycles, with the idea that, once we know more about the causes,
we can do a great deal more about controlling them.
One clue may be found in the fact that huge spots form on the sun
at intervals of about 11 years. These spots alternate in a positive and
negative character. At the time of a crest in the positive 11-year
period, people seem to be more optimistic and able to work out their
problems in a more statesmanlike manner. At the opposite or negative
end of the cycle they appear more excitable and quick to anger, and
wars develop in such an atmosphere.
A deeper knowledge of the regular patterns of international wars
in the past should help guide us in making greater efforts to avoid
conflict when tension is at a high pitch. By being more cautious, self
restrained, and statesmanlike in periods of greatest danger we can
lessen the chances of war.
The Foundation warns, however, tM&t we should keep our defenses
adequate so that we will be prepared against surprise attacks by
aggressors. In the meantime it is hoped that scientific study will result
in finding basic answers to the problem of how to curb wars.
