HOW TT WILL
 PREVENT WARS
BY WILLIAM H. TAFT.
 ARTICLE NO. 2.

It is not claimed that the League of Nations will do away with war alto gether. Every possible provision that human intelligence can devise will be made to settle international disputes peaceably. But should all these meas ures fail and two nations go to war, this is what will happen:
 If both parties to the dispute have observed the rules of the League, the other nations will stand back and let them fight it out. War under such cir ever. because before the angry na ations will be allowed to fight in accordance with the rules Kof the League so much time must elapse that in all pr0babil- ity their anger will cool and they will reach an amicable understanding.
 What we have to fear is that some nation will go to war in defiance of the League, and every precaution has been taken to Sppress such a nation by the immediate use of the united power of the other nations. If international boycott failed to bring her to terms she would have to face a combined in ternatio army and navy. The found CTS of the League believe that the mere possibility of such Situation will pre- vent any nation from violating its a- greement. Does anyone think that Gernflny would have begun war five years ago if she had known that nearly all the other great powers would com bine against her?
