WHY DOESN’T THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS FUNCTION NOW?
The league of nations exists. It
began to function some time ago. It
was announced when the first meet
ing was held that the league had
become a reality, and would continue
to operate regardless of the attitude
of the United States.
We are told that the league would
stop war. Why doesn’t it? Why is
fighting going on all over Europe,
even with members of the league par
ticipating?
France has occupied German cities
not assigned to her control under
the Paris treaty. This has been done
it is said, to ensure the carrying out j
of the terms of the treaty, and
doubtless is a necessary measure to
that end. But why doesn’t the league
assume jurisdiction in this mat
ter, rather than merely the French
republic?
Clearly enough, because the league
of nations is merely a collection of
words and an eloquent profession of
ideals, with nothing more substantial
back of it.
Yet the American people have been
assured that in this league, which
fails to function in the face of this
problem for the solution of which it
was ostensibly created, the world
would find peace and this republic
a new security from the menace of
war’
In the un-Americanized covenant
of the league of nations lurks the
perpetual danger of war to the United
States, through our permanent en
tanglement in the feuds and hatreds
and jealousies and rivalries of Europe,
deep rooted in history and in human
nature. The people of this nation
should thank God and take courage
because the senate has stood between
this republic and the sacrifice not
only of its ideals, rights and inter- 1
ests, but of the nation’s very safety.

If every time you find a fault in a
friend you would make it a point to
find one in yourself, you’d soon dis
cover that your friends are perfect.
The war has something else to an
swer for—it’s made every man think
he is an orator and must deliver a
four-minute speech whenever he can
get a cuckoo clock for an audience.
