of the sword for invasion,’’ could
be singled out. He spoke at the
seventy-seventh birthday of Wood
row Wilson. The three points that
every nation should agree t-p over
a period of years were the elim

and that no natlon.be allowed to
cross the borders of any other na

such pacts would not be author
