Danger OF stagnation.
The league in its framework Is in

signed to bind nations together on terms
of mutual security, Mr.. Thomas pointed
out, thus presupposing ationalism.
This justifies the inquiry as to whether
internationalism will Danish war from
the earth. The Senator quickly disposed

would stagnate the races of the world.
Races may be blended as they min
