England, I feel that atmosphere gath
erinG, that desire to do justice, that
desire to establish friendliness, that
desire to make peace rest upon right;
and with this common purpose no OBJ
stacles need be formidable.
THE only use of an obstacle is to
be overcome. All that an obstacle
does with brave men is not to frighten
them but to challenge them. So that
it ought to be our pride 10 overcome
everything that stands in the way.
we know t1at there cannot be an
other balance of power. That has been
tried and found wanting, for the best
of all reasons, that It does not stay
balanced inside itself, and a weight
which does not hold together cannot
constitute a makeWeight in the affairs
Of men.
Therefore. there must be something
substituted for the balance of power,
and I am happy to find e. erywhere in
the air Of these great nations the con-
ception that that thing must be a
thoroughly united league of nations.
What men once considered theoret-
iCal and idealistic turns out to be
practical and necessary. We stand at
the opening of a new age in which q
