The Position of the Small Nation in Post-War Europe

Nationhood is an absolute value. It is a profund mistake to suppose that small nations are bound to disappear in post-war Europe or that their continued existence is necessarily disadvantageous. The diversity of European culture is a political fact which can be ignored only with disaster. The principe of flexible confederation is probably the best solution to the economic problems of the small states. The minorities problem will have to be solved through an international organization for their protection or perhaps through population transfers. Only a system of general security sincerily and honestly supported by all powers, both great and small, can give us a hope for future peace
