FRANCIS BOWES SAYRK, Assistant Professor of Law, - Harvard University. ourselves once again plunged, quite against the wishes of tfea gre.it majority of mankind. Into a cata clysmic struggle, recalling nil the savagery of the Thirty Years' War three centuries before. Cause and effect ar changeless and eternal; can any one who reads history truly doubt bnt that If we conclude a peace today, no different la substance or structure from the Peace of Monster of 164S, the Treaty of Ctreeht of 1713. or the Treaty of Vienna of 1S15, It will be only a question of time till we are once again engulfed in an even more ter rible world war than that through which we have Just passed? If the Treaty of 1919 does no more than to rearrange boundaries and Impose Indemnities, if it allows tbe contin uation of the old international law lessness, and fails to organize Inter national society into an ordeted community of states, there can be Bo mistaking the fsct that all the agony of the past four years will bare been largely In vain; for as nrely as night follows day. within m measureable period of lime we hall have to face tbe same agony again. t International lawlessness may have suited well enough at a time when states were in fact self-sufficing and . Insulated units. But that time has passed. Whether we like it or no. Internationalism has come in fact. Since the Industrial Revolution some great nations have transformed themselves from agricultural ,. Into great industrial communities; the very existence of these nations de pends upon the uninterrupted inter national exchange of their maau- factored goods for raw products and foodstuffs. If England were cut oil from International intercourse today ebe would starve Inside of a few months. Morally and tisehologl cally, no less, than economically, na tions have ceased to bo isolated units. Tbe national Prussian theory of the State, and the Prussian belief that might is a force of more prac tical ralue than right, tas borne its International fruitage in the wreckage of homes all around the world. Tbe Bolshevism of Russia Is the . vital concern of America on. the opposite hemisphere. Dependency and inter play of nation upon nation consti tutes an actual internationalism that will not be denied; and if we will have our law -accord with the exist lng facts which have temporarily out distanced it, we must develop in our law as real an internationalism. Otherwise, our international Jaw will be and can be only -futile theory, with no power to control actual con duct; for no law which is out of accord with existing facts can prove a real factor In human development If therefore there is to be such a thing in the future as international law, there must be some legal organ ization of International society; in some form or other there must be a League of Nations. . i AND MONROE DOCTRINE Paradoxical as It may seem, free dom can came only through law. Tbe absolute Individual freedom which tbe anarchist dreams of in a society without government is in fact a logical impossibility; because the removal of all restraint by the social organization could only mean that the- liberty of each would e put at the mercy of. eveiy other Individual who cared to rob, or plunder or wrecis another's home. It Is only by curb ing the anti-social and criminal Im pulses of all that each member of the community can attain that secur ity and freedom from intolerable in terference which makes possible free dom of action and liberty of life. This self-evident principle Is clearly true of international, no less than of national life, if within the family of nations thero is no method of restraining or keeping in check tbe criminal state, if every nation Is free to follow its unbridled and chaa- Tho Monroe Dcctrlne, as originally announced, served as a shield, which the United States held over Itself and over weaker stato3 on the American continents as a protection against European interference and European encroachment, it waa and Is a national policy which protects North and South America and makes for peace on these continents. There is real danger now, however, that the Jlonroo Doctrine will e carried so far and with so high a hand that the real value of the policy will be lost Senator Knox made the following amaxing statement in bis recent speech in the Senate: "Its tThe Monroe Doctrine) precise charactor, the extent, method and time of its application, the means of compelling its observance, all are matters of our high and uncontrolled will "and sov ereign prerogative. We, lha Tnitcd States, cannot answer to any one else In respect to it We Use it when, as, and to the extent we need it There can L-o no limitation upon it, except our requirements, our will, ai d our force cf arms. Whatever security we may need within its purview, H must give, if we ask it" That Bounds like Trletschke. It Is an announcement of unlimited will, backed by arms, to be exercised as the United States alone determines her own requirements to be. Such an Immoderate statement of tho Mon roe Doctrine weakens and does not strengthen it. It is an extreme statement of the tioctrino, calculated to cause trouble and friction on the American continents. ""The Doctrine so stated is not unlike the doctrlno which Germany sought to apply to Europe. Senator Knox would refuse to sub mit to conciliation any dispute grow ing out of the application of tho Monroe Doctrine, whether such dis pute were between the Unttd States and an American state or between tbe United States and a non-American state. On the American conti nent the arbitrary will of the United States backed by force Is to prevail. The other nations agree, in tbe Cov enant of the League of Nations, to submit to conciliation all non-justici-iible .disputes; that is, those which grow out-, of questions of policy. Is the United States to demand that she alone be relieved from such obliga tion and on the ground that, when ber Interests are Involved, her abso lute will shall prevail? How does this differ from the German position in Europe? The fact is that the Monroe Doc trine now that it has been recognized In the Covenant of the League of Na iocs is adequately protected. It Is such pronouncements as that of Senator Knox and not .the wtee P'ovision in the Covenant ' of the League of Nations which threaten the usefulness of the Monroe Doctrine, JOSEPH WALKER.
