''To be specific, the United States
should enter the league for many
reasons of self-interest, namely.
"(D to keep a foreign market for
our farmers and manufacturers;
"(2) to enable Europe to pay
some. of its debts to the United
States;
"(3) to maintain our greatest in
ternational asset, international good
will;
" (4) to avoid the need Of a costly
navy and army;
"(5)to avoid wars which would
iniure and probably involve our
selves.
The Alternatives
"The last reason is the biggest
one: although, in a distorted per-
spective, it seems so far off as to DC
the smallest. We need the league 70
escape world war.
IF we choose the league, we IN
America can have peace and pros
perity through the ages. The othei
alternative is too horrible to con-
template"

toll Of the World War-$186, 6,OOO,-

dollars worth of devastation on land
and sea, 100000 soldiers killed,

""The next war will probably cost
more in every one of these ways.
In that war not soldiers only but
helpress women and children will be

will have their inhabitants put to
death by this method and it's build
