NECESSITY OF A
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Should Eliminate War In Ninety-
Nine Out of One Hundred
Cases.
<
/
I wtah to maintain tha proposition
thnt p l,eiiRite of Nation« 1« not only
doalrahlo but an nbaoluta necaaalty
land for throe roaaona, any one of
whlrb would be sufficient to Justify
that phraae.
Klr»t, It la a naraaalty for winding
up the war, We tnuat not forget that
thla war haa unaettled almost every-
'thing: haa deatroyed nation«, and
has created new nation« on paper,
such aa Finland. Poliind. <’re<-lio-Slo­
vakia. Jugo slavia, the Ulkralne ,and
the Balkan State« and anme seml-
Intb'pendent b o d ie s )ige Armenia, the
Caucasus. and Palestine. Theae amall
state* will be even more at the mercy
*f the great atatea than Belgium wan,
If we do not guarantee In some way
their Independence.
Then there are the great problem«
of the landlocked countries, which
mnat have an outlet to the aea, and of
certain International areas, like the
Boaphorua, which must be adminis­
tered by a league of nation«. Then
there are the German Colonies, which
need, for ohvloua reneon«, to he ad­
ministered Internationally.
Finally, aa Mr. Taft predicted, thla
peace treaty la aa long as the moral
law. It will require Interpretation,
and It will require enforcement, for
both of which we need a league of
nations.
Secondly, we need It In order to
avoid a recurrence of what lias con­
stituted a veritable curse even In
ttmea of peace, competitive arm a­
ments.
International cut-throat competition
In armies and navlea leave« the n a­
tion« tn the end In aubstnntlaHy the
same relative positions ae In the be­
ginning. Yet we mu«t each In self-
defense, keep up In thlH rare. To Eu­
rope this will mean economic ruin; to
tia. high taxes.
There are business men who are
fighting shy of the Idea of a league
of nations with tho thought that It Is
going to unaettle trad« Internationally
—afraid, perhaps, that the tariff will
be disturbed In some .way. But any
possible gain that eould be had by
maintaining the status quo would be
cancelled many times over by the loss
from the taxes—enormously high—
which would be required to keep up
our end in this International compe­
tition In armaments. Our own coun­
try. In spite of Its w ealth, would be
reduced s long way toward poverty.
This world would be scarcely at to
Bve In.
Wa have reached the parting of the
way« as to our policy on armaments.
Either we must compete with the re at
of the world, or combine with the
rest of the world.
The third and moat Important rea­
son for a league la to prevent the ra-
rurrence of a world war.
A league should eliminate war tn
99 ont of I(K) rases, because tt af­
fords another way than war to settle
the Inevitable dispute«. A collective
police force takes the place of na­
tional military force«. The national
pride which so often lead« to w ar wltl
be transferred to keeping treaties.
No longer will a nation nerd to go to
wnr to "save Its face" rather than re ­
cede from an untenable position; for
the award of the third party will pre­
serve Its self-respect. Furtherm ore,
w hatever disarmam ent takes place
will tend to diminish the danger of
war and reduce Its scale if It comes
Many people are Indifferent te or
scornful of the Idea of a league of
nations chleiy because they lack the
traaglnhtlon to realise the horrible
alternative.
In order .then ,to wind np this war,
to prevent oppressive taxes In times
of peace, and to prevent future wars,
we need a league of Nations.
But besides these three reasons,
which are purely selfish, there ts a
reason which outweighs them all. Ir­
respective of our Interests, Irrespec­
tive of the fortunes of any man or
party, we are In honor bound to do
this thing. Our boys went abroad, to
m ake thp world "safe for democracy.”
and to do It forever. We owe It to
them that their labors shall no! have
iiecn In v;dn. Wo are talking about
erecting monuments to them—momo-
-lal arches, and bridges, and build­
ings. I,et us first erect a monument
nhlch will not only commemorate but
oerpelnaln their work, the monument
f a League of Nations.
