Novelist Opposes League.
The after-the-war situations and
the peace conferences, OF which Mr..
Hughes spoke with so much author-
ty, naturally brought up the subject
of the league Of nations. The novel
list is opposed to the league on the
grounds that 1t is absolutely con-
trary to human nature. He says
that the idea Is not new one, but
that there have been leagues OF ma
tons and peace pacts ever since ma
lions began fighting each other and
then tried TO come to agreements.
Its Impossible for few men to
make a contract and expect future
generations to keep IL and live I'D to
it's promises" Mr.. Hughes said.
ibid you ever see son who was
satisfied with the provisions and
plans which his father had laid down
for him." he asked. THE very fact
that the men who signed the peace
treaty couldn't agree. goes to show
that II is impossible for twenty-five
nations to bind themselves together
into a peace pact that will stop war
forever" Mr.. Hughes thinks that
the greatest mistake the men who
are p1ghing the league OF nations
made has been the manner in which
they catalogued everyone who wasn't
In favor OF It Everyone who Is
against It is denounced" he said.
Mr.. Hughes believes in alliances,
and thinks that they are OF tempo

part of them Several nations will
work together for a little while. I'M
til one of them does something that
one Of the other nations doesn't like.
