pean enemy. Alliances are the out
come of International enmities. Ma
tons do not band together because
they have an affection for one an
other, but because they have mutual
interests to be safeguarded against a
common enemy.
The only alternative to a league Of
nations is a return to the old world
policy of balance of power, whereby
two coalitions of nations seek to hold
zach other in equilibrium, each to
prevent its downfall.
When America was hesitating
about entering the war, it was a com
mon threat in Berlin that if America
contributed to Germany's defeat, Ger
man craftsmanship would in future
years, work for an alliance with
Russia and Japan aimed against the
United States. Blocked from expand
Ing westward, the Germans would
thus turn to the east and would
eventually seek with their allies to
dominate the Pacific.
1t is such a threat as this that
forces a menaced nation into an al
lance to restore the balance Of
power. Often a sufficient check
against SO pretentious a design is
the knowledge that a counter ALI
nee exists. II, however, the blow
eventually falls, the counter alliance
springs into instant defensive action.
a Of this nature against the
United States would necessarily be
directed against Australia, New Zea-
land and Canada, who have interests
In the Pacific in harmony with Amer
ica's. If, therefore, the league Of
nations fails to be created and If
America is compelled to join an inter
national coalition, a community of
Interest already exists for tie forma-
ton of an Englfsh-speaking league.
