we Americans, for the old world
nations and their centuries and
centuries of experience in intrigue
and diplomacy. And again, the
league has not even proved itself.
Wars have been raging in Europe
almost without interruption ever
since the league went into opera

peace, and when 1t mas failed utterly
in that purpose, / do not for the
life Of me, see how the league can
have any supporters when ii has

for which IL was organized.
And, the recent war has shown
that in times of crises treaties and

of paper"
The United States will never,

there is a majority OF American
patriots in the United States, and
as long as service men are able to
