what is now to take place In America.
Precisely those statesmen who we're
seemingly least enthusiastic about the

ceive most clearly and state most
frankly that a failure of the league Of
nations fight in America will fore
shadow the failure OF the Paris confer

1t is a settled doctrine here now that
there must be a league OF nations, that
that league Of nations must possess
power To protect the small states, to
guarantee the world against new at
tack like the German attack, and above
all, by the very extent of the security
it brings, save the common people Of
