The careerists of pacifism were Nicholas Butler and Norman Angell, I guess.
Butler was the president of the Carnegie Peace Foundation. EP was furious with him because he had disregarded a letter that Count Mensdorff had sent him delineating the causes of war. The letter was written in 1928 and argued that these causes lie in the production of armament as well as the economic competition and dumping on foreign markets. And yes, Count Mensdorff was writing from Vienna.
Does anyone have any information on EP's trip to Vienna in or around 1927? He met some Socialists, got called "Kumrad" and they were all "dumb". But no names, no dates.
