But still this Is no joke
Or else, to be enjoyed. it's far too oil

And you've tuasted;
You've ruined
And thereby puined:

Peace After the War

NY HEN Mr. Taft speaks to-day on behalf
w of the League TO Enforce Peace. he will
deliver a message none the less grave. none
the less momentous. because we have not only
failed 10 bring peace to the rest Of the world.
but are ourselves faced with the certainty
of Indeed, because OF the very fact
that war is now only question Of days. al
most of hours. the doctrine he will present
longer be acadomcally considered as
theory but must be accepted policy.
principle, and must be included among the
ultimate objects for which we shall be forced
to fight
When the league of which Mr.. Taft is head
founded, in June, 1915, there was still
ground on which 10 base the hope. and belief.
that this peaceful country would not be drawn
into the maelstrom Of war. All Europe was
blood mad and in its madness had committed
offenses against this people. ranging from
injuries to crimes, but the patience Of tho
American government and people. though
strained, had not snapped Nor had Il de-
libcrate and ruthless purpose to drag this
nation into been disclosed. Neverthc-
less. thoughtful men foresaw that the very
integrity OF this country would demand that
il take part in the deliberations that must be
held after the war
Later. the President himself was to say
that this was the last world war from which
the United States could hold itself aloof.
Other thinkers who had dreamed of lasting
peace and had worked for immediate peace
saw the inevitable end toward which the
worlds affairs were trending and told the
vision they had OF the United States taking
It's place among the nations and. united with
them. RELOCATING war to the Oblivion of other
barbarities. MIR. Taft himself has said:
The time is past when the United
states can live IN sEclusion from the

There is no choice before us now Patient
suffering is at an end: resistance must take
its place. We shall conquer, of course but
after this war-what? Shall We who had
no part in the making of the war. be sub
jccted TO the danger Of unwarned and un-
warrantable attack, again and again, as long
as history lasts? Whether ii be great
America or little Belgium. there is now no
safeguard against cupidity, conquest and
blood-lust, except the courage and strength
or weakncSs-of the Americas anr Belgiums
that tempt ovcrweenng ambition 10 try

There is only one way TO save the world
from future wars. II has many aspects:
there arc many difficulties in its path and
there are many details TO be worked out But
the one way out lies open: There must be
league of the nations. which shall have the
right To command peace until arbitration
shall have been tried and the physical power
to enforce submission to arbitration And
the United States must stand in the forefront
of that league.
