INFLUENCE OF THE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
Duluth Herald)

Friends Of the League Of Ma
tions note with pleasure that that
body is not falling into the in
nocuous desuetude. to use a favor
lite phrase of Grover Cleveland's
which its opponents had hoped
for. II becomes more and more a
power in the world. a great en-
CINE working for international
harmony.
II begins to appear that the
hopes of its friends may be rea-
lized. The League is not an
agency to promote the ambitions
of the great powers. Its voice
is heard by all nations, big and
little. II is especially a protec-
ton for the lesser independent
states and it is making it seem
possible that the world can be
ruled by justice TO which all must
bow. rather than by the sword.
Germany is willing to enter
the League. accepting the results
of the war. Great Britain finds a
way to invoke its action in re-
spect TO the Mosul region. that
center of controversy, supposed
to have beneath its surface great
basins of oil.
The League was born of the
great war, which was called "a
war to end war: an expression
later applied in derision, II the
League had existed in 1914, there
would have been no war. No great
power would have dared to draw
the sword in defiance Of it.
II is true that now and then
armed collisions break out in dis
regard of the advice of the
League, but these are always
minor things. Nations and their
statesmen look to Geneva for de-
cisions in accordance with the
everlasting principle of right.
There are little cracks and
shivers on the earth which are
earthquakes, None the less, the
earth as a whole keeps stable I'M
der natures permanent laws. In
the same way the League per-
sists in preaching the law Of
peace and. although infractions
may happen, in the end its law
is accepted.
In many places they are strug-
Cling for rights which have long
been commonplace in this coun-
try, such as freedom of speech.
right of private property, equali-
ty before the law, and religious
liberty. These causes will win,
and il is pleasing to Americans
that these advances were first es-
tablished here. In the same way,
the League of Nations had its
origin in this country. II will
not be weak on that account. 1t
is headed the right way. The fact
that this country does not offici-
ally participate in its councils is
regretted by many. but at all
times American influence will be
on the side of good causes. on the
side of peace, on the side of fair
settlements without bloodshed.
