UNION Of V|CT0RS
VITAL, SAYS R|BO1
~ ALEXANDRA RIB0T.
(T>wiee Prenier Of France During
the WAR;


(written Expressly for the Interna-
tionsr News Service.)
PARIS, Dec. os.-The League of
Nations will be Of little real value to
the world unless 1t is supported by
q permanent agreement between the
nations which fought side by side for
the right of peoples and justice for
all. Who would dare to predict what
the world is facing after the awful
tempest which has just shaken it?
Three empires have fallen and on
their ruins have sprung up nations
which hope to be free. What will be-
come OF these peoples? Will they
have the wisdom and the power to de
velop in peace? Has Prussion mill
tarism, whichN for two centuries was
the torment of Europe, sunk forever
into the grave? May II not once again
return to trouble us? Shall we be
able to maintain that close union
among the victorious nations which
won the war?
That is the sole guarantee OF peace
The war did not result merely in
the downfall of empires 1t has
shaken to its profoundest depths a
society in the process Of evolution,
uneasy regarding its future, march
ing toward a new equilibrium. 1t set
free the hope of many peoples, Ii
brought to the surface nbitions
which. had kept down, which did not
dare hope for their liberation. The
world of labor is upset, thrown out
Of its old ways. The workers of the
world believe, now that they have
seen the downfall of powers which
they thought uncomfortable, that So
ciety itself can be remodeled, just as
nations have been, and that revolu-
tion will not be limited to a Grange
| of frontier lines. The whole social
order is in danger.
We have no need to be astonished
by these agitations. After a storm
/ the ocean does not become calm in an
Hour. It's waves continue to roll over
wide reaches. We must not, however,
be afraid of these waves. A society
accustomed to the virile habits or
| liberty contains in itself the means of
defense. 1t will perish only when it
| abandons them.
The men of my generation have
! lived through many transformations
! in ways of living, of administering, of
| governing, in methods of work. we
have seen great revolutions in science
and politics. We have witnessed eN-
! traordinary discoveries, and also GER
ain progress in the social order. We
,hall miss only the view of what
| France will be in twenty-five or thirty
years. But we have never despaired
of her, even in the darkest days.
