Why The World Needs a League of Nations

Prof Irving Fisher University Of the prominent
Republicans Of the nation who the president of the proLeague
pf Independents writes follows:
Entering the League Of Nations only desirable but
absolutely absolute necessity for three
Of which would be sufficient justify that phrase
First winding up forget this

created nations paper Some dozen soyereignes

some semindependent bodies like Armenia Palestine and tile eau
These all Mr. Taft has said many Cubas and will
have to be treated just Cuba treated when liberated

These small states will be the mercy Of the

The biggest perforc left to the League

As Mr. Taft predicted the peace treaty long moral

From this first standpoint alone then that of winding up the
war, finishing the job we need the league Of nations
Secondly need recurrence of what has
Constituted yerabc in times of peace competitive
arnamens When Germany rs increased her army beyond

Such international uthroa competition in armies and naves
leaves the nations the end in Substantially relative
positions that they would have held had there been

The third and important league is to pre-

The progress civilization consists largely as Professor Keller

The process never stop till the Peace Group comprises
