HITS WORLD LEAGUE
Hughes Declares Fundamental
Principle Is Impractical.
Impossible to Enforce Peace by Force,
the Secretary of State Says
"Who Shall Guard the
Guardians2"

Washington, May 17.-In an utter
ance of sensational import, which is
likely to influence profoundly policies
and opinion at home and abroad. Sec
rotary of State Hughes condemned as
impracticable the fundamental prin-
ciple of the machinery set up by the
League of Nations to enforce peace.
In yelled but unmistakabIe terms the
secretary, speaking at the opening SEES
sion of the National Conference of So
cial Work, pronounced it impossible to
maintain peace by force" because of
the difficulty of supplying, controlling,
and directing the force to be used.
Though he did not mention the body
specifically, it is apparent that Mr..
Hughes had the League of Nations in
mind, for the acknowledged purpose of
the elaborate machinery provided by
the covenant was to maintain peace
by force
He touched on the failure Of the
League of~Nations to agree on the use
of the league machinery to prevent or
end the numerous wars which have
ragged in Europe and Asia since the
league was created.
When the guardians of peace dis
agree, ''who will guard the guardians? ~
Mr.. Hughes epigrammatically inquired.
