HOPE OF THE WORLD.

The Allies In Europe were fighting
Goggedly for their existence. There
was no time Or opportunity for an
analysis of what it all meant. There
was no hope that the end of the war
would be different from the end of
all the many wars that had devastat-
ed Europe. Peace would be won at
last, but only for little time through
the exhaustion of some Of the nations
at war. Then, as always before,
would come the rallying time, the
hurried and burdensome preparation
for aggression or defense. 1t was
all so hopeless. Yet like grim bull
tcogs the nations fought. But then,
from America came the clear vision
OF what it all meant. and from Am
erica came a hope. A master-mind
gave itself to the problem. He saw
the moving cause behind the pretcn-
SEES. He was a practical idealist as
we'll. The waS was no longer a mere
struggle for existence. 1t was a war

eminent was involved. A war waged

hut to save the world from disaster
and to preserve the blessings Of lib

win freedom to the peoples of the
world, not for a little day, but for all
time. And because of this. Europe
ventured to hope and to lift up her
bowed head. Could the Monroe Doc

then indeed men would be free, and
wars Of aggression would cease.
The war was won. Then began

before the world.
The fight on the League Of Nations
is fight dictated by spite because

No one contends that the consti-
tuition OF the League Of Nations Is
perfect. Tho American Constitution
was not perfect when 1t was adopted,
for it has been amended time after
time. But 1t was perfect enough to
give to the people Of America the
freedom and liberty they fought for.
The League Of Nations promises TO
save the world from aggressive wars.
Its formation is the hope of the
world.
Those who fight It here in America
offer nothing in its place. There were
