Excerpt from History of the Civil War Military Pensions, 1861-1865 This demand became all the more imperative because of the disturbed condition of the pension system in the southern states. Shortly after hostilities began in the spring of 1861 Commissioner B arrott ordered the payment of pensions to be suspended at all the different agencies located in those states then in rebellion. And by an act passed on February 4, 1862, the Secretary of Interior was directed to strike from the pension rolls the names of all such persons who had taken up arms against the United States Government, or who had in any manner encouraged the rebels or mani fested a sympathy with their cause.li Thereafter, when money was appropriated for the payment of pensions, a provision was always inserted to the effect that no part of it was to be paid to disloyal persons. During the first year of the war, over two thousand pensioners living in the southern states were dropped from the rolls. After the Union f orces regained control of certain points in these states, the pension agencies were reestablished, and provision was made for paying those who were justly entitled to a pension. In order to have their names restored to the rolls, persons had to prove by act and sympathy, their continued loyalty to the Union. At the close of the year 1865, agencies had been. Reopened in Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Each successive year saw new agencies Opened at other points throughout the South, and finally by 1872 the pension system was again in operation in every southern state. To meet the situation in 1861, Congress decided to act upon the Commissioner's recommendation. The first step taken was to ascertain exactly what laws were then in Opera tion governing the payment of pensions. Neither the Com missioner of Pensions nor the Secretary of Interior was able to furnish the information desired; but the latter called up on attorney-general B ates for an interpretation of certain acts then found on the statute books. He was first asked to place a construction upon the act of J uly 22, 1861, and in addition give an opinion upon the following points.

Excerpt from Federal Military Pensions in the United States, Vol. 1 The Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is organized to "promote a thorough and scientific investigation of the causes and results of war." In accordance with this purpose a conference of eminent statesmen, publicists, and economists was held in Berne, Switzerland, in August, 1911, at which a plan of investigation was formed and an extensive list of topics was prepared. An elaborate series of investigations was undertaken, and, if the war had not intervened, the resulting reports might have been expected, before the present date, in printed form. Of works so undertaken some aim to reveal direct and indirect consequences of warfare, and thus to furnish a basis for a judgment as to the reasonableness of the resort to it. If the evils are in reality larger and the benefits smaller than in the common view they appear to be, such studies should furnish convincing evidence of this fact and afford a basis for an enlightened policy whenever there is danger of international conflicts. Studies of the causes of warfare reveal, in particular, those economic influences which in time of peace bring about clashing interests and mutual suspicion and hostility. They show what policies, as adopted by different nations, reduce the conflicts of interest, inure to the common benefit, and afford a basis for international confidence and good will. They tend, further, to reveal the natural economic influences which of themselves bring about more and more harmonious relations and tend to substitute general benefits for the mutual injuries that follow unintelligent self-seeking. Economic internationalism needs to be fortified by the mutual trust that just dealing creates; but just conduct itself may be favored by economic conditions. These, in turn, may be created partly by a natural evolution and partly by the conscious action of governments; and both evolution and public action are among the important subjects of investigation.
