One of the chief arguments of those
opposing the League of Nations is thai
the United States should have moth
ing to do with the rest of the world
that we should retain our indepen-
edence" shut ourselves up within a
shell. attend to our own business
etc That appeals to the selfish side
of human nature, but one great trou-
BILE is that it is impossible to live that
way iii this world. No individual car
i've absolutely apart from his neigh
Ibors. No town or city can shut itself
of from the rest of the country. Nc
State can exist to itself.
Early in our history the Monroe doc
trine was adopted as necessary step
This was going outside our own af-
fairs and assuming responsibilities for
other American nations, and some OF
-dhem have since resented it.
When President Mckinley and his
administration took over the Philip
pines and assumed the government OF
Cuba they took a long step in world
affairs.
When Germany got ready to domi-
nate the world there was no chance
for us to keep "our Independence" and
stay out of international matters. To
remain out meant to be ruled by the
ruthless Hun.
The day has passed; if it ever did
exist, when great nation like the
United States can live the extremely
selfish life that would keep it away
from the high ideals of helping hui
manity The only way to make this
world better is to join in and clean 1t
