cordanee with the rules OF the League,

probability their anger will cool and
they will reach an smicsbls under.
standing.
What we have to fear Is that some
nation will 20 TO war In defiance Of
the League. and every precRution has
been taken to suppress such 4 nation
by the immediate use Ut the united
power Of the other nations. IL inter
national boycott failed to bring her
to terms she would have to face q
combined international army and
navy. The founders OF the League be-
lleve that the mere possibility OF such
II situation will prevent any nation
from violating It's agreement. Does
anyone think that Germany would
have begun war five years ago II she
had known that nearly all the other
great powers would combiRe against
her!
Doing the Worlds Work.
In addition to settling international
disputes peacesbly the League OF
Nations will provide means for doing
much Of the worlds work more avs
tematlcally and effectively than can
he done now when each nation is
working only for itself. The people
you know best and like best are those
who work with you an the same Job.
IL will he the same way with the
nations Of tho future. The more they
work together, the sooner they will
come to understand and like each
other.
For example, the League will estab-
lish an international Organizat ton for
the lettering OF labor conditions in
different countries, for the protection
of women and children and the native
inhabitants OF civilized and semi-civIl-
lied countries. one Of Germany's
greatest crimes has been her barba-
rOus treatment OF the helpless people
In some OF her colonies. One Of the
chief tasks Of the League will be to
lsok after peoples that are not strong
enough 10 protect themselves.
The League will appoint commits
sions to take charge OF various inter-
national undertakings so that they
may he carried on, not for the bene6t
Of any one nation, but for the benefit
OF the whole world. Provision will be
made for promotion Of fair and equal
trade conditions.
These are only few Of the benefits
the world will derive from the Lea cue.
As time goes on We shall find more
and more tasks ut which the nations
can work IN common and greater
number of opportunities to remove
causes which stir up jealousies and
snimosities between races and peoples.

OF course we cannot hope to make
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,

agreement (Articls X of the Cove

which seeks to prevent war, IL has
been attacked on the ground that II

force US to send eur boys to Eight In
