declared it is mot a league of ma
tions 10 prevent war; il is a league
of armed nations in a gigantic war
trust; not a league of peoples, but
a trust Of present existing power.
Would Prevent War.
IF those who wrote this document
really wanted TO prevent war they
would have permitted the men and
women who must bear the burdens
of war 10 determine by their votes
whether there should be war. II
every nation agrees to a referendum
10 its people before a war declara-
ton, peoples, instead of rulers. hu-
manity instead of power. would de-
eide whether wars would be fought
and only in the rarest instances
would there be wars. Such wars
would be peoples wars.

The league will germinate and
not prevent wars.
