INTERNATIONAL PEACE
of men is smaller than that of women, ahimsı (love) favours the inarrying of two women to one man. The advantages from this will be manifold ; social life will be purified, and girls will not be under the temptation of employing unmoral and even immoral devices to 'catch' husbands. Those who cannot get married under the monogamous law and who are driven, for no fault of theirs except that they happen to be endowed with the animal appetites like their married brethren and sisters, to seek clandestine amour, will no longer be forced to a life of nypocrisy and shame. Abortions will not be practised as they are in thousands 10-day ; and iníanticide will become a thing of the past. These are only a few of the advantages that will flow from the practice. The opposition to it is merely a matter of zid (sentiment). Many women who find themselves unable to be reconciled to the idea of sharing their husbands with another woman, in reality are actually doing so to day, and in a worse form, though unaware of the fact. There can be no valid objection on the ground of religion either. Several of the Biblical patriarchs had more wives than one. We have no right to expect peaceful nationalism while millions of women are forced to lead unhappy lives. The day of reckoning is not far off. Girls have already begun to usurp the places of men in business circles. Let us note that the proper place for the woman is the home and the nursery, not the business house. It is for man to earn ; not for the woman. She is to spend, profitably for man, and for herself too, as his partner in life, what he has earned by labour or skill. You cannot reverse the natural role for long, without very grave consequences resulting from a disregard of Nature's Law.
(5) Finally, in our international relations the practising of the doctrine of universal love will at once make men and nations respected and loved. To-day the keynote of international policy is fear; we hate every one, and are hated by every one in our turn. Peace is maintained only through fear
