As the U nited States eonies ever closer to war. the reasons
for the failure of a League of Nations ami other peace pacts be­
comes more obvious. W ithin the last six years, all the devices
that were used for keeping the world at peace for almost tw en­
ty years have failed.
The League failed because it had no authority to prevent
H itler and his kind from violating aaered agreem ents. Then* was
no forceful penalty that eQuld he used against the dictators,
who can be dealt with only in term s of fore«.
Many who favored the League in principle actively opposed
its organization, because no provision was made for enforcing
its rulings. They felt it was foredoomed to failure unless it was
provided with real force to hold unruly nations in line.

ference or by united action, has l>een a woeful attem pt.
If a nation wished to remain at peaee, its only means were
to make concessions and delay the aggression until the dictators
decided to m arch. Many small, bewildered lands wished to re­
m ain a t peaee. but th eir efforts never passed the wishful stage.
The bigger nations, even with a League of N ations as an in stru ­
18
ment, could not help.
American sym pathy for natious that want to live free and
a will to aid the underdog are underlying factors beneath the
U nited S ta te s’ hurried steps away from a policy of strict neu­
trality . The paggage of the Lend-Lease Bill am ounted to a re­
peal of most of the neu trality laws and, although the statute
against American ships moving iuto w ar zones still stands, the
United States is rapidly pulling away from that rule, too. The
U nited S tates has not been neutral. The people, as a whole,
do not w ant to be neutral.
The people of th e United States do. though, want some as­
surance th at the world will remain at peaee a fte r H itler has
been whipped. Since about 1935, people of the United States
U
have been jitte ry about the prospects of war. but now that the
showdown Is imminent, they are ready to face it, despite the
IO
realization th at the League of Nations, based on groping meas­
ures, was a complete failure. A fter the w ar Is finished
and boundaries are again fixed, if all would join in a league that
could enforce its rulings by force, if ueecssary, the lasting
peace of the world might then be assured.
