How II VIII Prevent Wars.
1t Is not claimed that the League OF
Nations will do away with war alto
gether. Every possible provision that
human intelligence can devise will be
made to settle international disputes
peaceably. But should all these meas
ures fall and two nations 60 to war.
this Is what will happen:
If both parties to the dispute have
observed the rules of the League. the
other nations will stand back and let
them fight 1t out. War under such
circumstances Is difficult to imagine,
however, because before the angry ma.
lions will be allowed to fight In &C
cordance with the rules Of the League,
80 much time must elapse that In all
probability their anger will cool and
they will reach an amicable under
standing.
What we have to fear is that some
nation will 60 to war In defiance OF
the League. and every precaution has
been taken to suppress such q nation
by the immediate use Of the united

the great changes such as the League
Of Nations Will bring about without
opposition. Fortunately the war has
taught us the great advantages OF
International cooperation. 1t was
only by good team work that the free
liberty loving nations were able to
whip Germany.
The treaty which the United States
Senate Is debating oblieates the men,
hers OF the proposed League TO pro-
tect one another against attack from
enemies outside their own boundaries
