WE CANNOT STAND ALooF

While the emphasis In Ambassador
George Harrey's recent speech In Lon
don was placed on the determination OF
the United States not to enter the League
Of nations. proper participation by this
nation IN world Affairs is OF vital I'M
portance John Hays HAMMOND. the
noted engineer. expressed this thought
In an address before tho Academy Of
Political and Social Science in Phtladel-
phia. Mr.. Hammond said in part:
1T is the consensus Of our statesmen
and men Of an AIRS that some kind Of an
association Of nations Is essential TO
preserve the peace Of the world. They
recognize il We are TO maintain our in
tcrnational rights. and to promote our
interests abroad, we must be prepared
to accept responsibilities as great
world power and cannot assume an at
ti,ude Of aloofness."
These truths are OF equal Importance
with the fact that the United States
must avoid that variety OF association
known as foreign entanglements and
alliances" America is = grea, and in
S"pa rabie part Of the modern world. and
cannot escape participation in world
affairs wen If she would. The war
proved that conclusively.
But We can participate without any
rigid rules to govern procedure. In fact
such rules and regulations "a might be
included in league would in many
cases provo inapplicable and an obstacle
rather than an aid TO cooperation.
One reason why so many thoughtful
men arc opposed 70 the league is that
our participation in European affairs
should be developed naturally and grad
ually. AS questions arise affecting us
IN common with the nations Of Europe,
w. can determine our procedure accord
ing TO the circumstances that may exist
IN each separate case. Thus in course
OF time will be built up through expert
rnce body Of presidents and methods
Of procedure that will accomplish more
than any league. and without a leagues
emharrassments.
