mains to be proved
Pacts binding nations to boycott the
aggressor nation in future wars hive
been suggested, but nations always
claim to fight only for defense and
even the question of war guilt in the
great European struggle which began
13 years ago remains unsettled. Anti
aggression pacts might force the
United States to abandon its neutral-
ity even in cases where only a hair
line existed between aggression and
on-aggression. They seem to leave
the way open for and even to en-
courage all sorts of camouflage and
skullduggery by scheming nations.
Soviet Russia's proposal at Geneva
for universal disarmament was too
good to be true. No other nation has
embraced it and it is to be considered
in the light of the fact that Russia
herself always is happy to stir up a
bloody internecine class war elsewhere
when it can be done.
Imperialistic nations have too much
at stake to agree to anything like that
and imperialistic nations are in the
saddle. AT best they would demand
an enforced permanency of the status
quo.
Could Britain withdraw from China,
India, Egypt and other lands rather
than wage war against native popula-
tions demanding autonomy?
Could Japan and France abandon
territories or spheres of influence
where they now hold their positions by
armed forces?
Could the United States even accept
the proposal scheduled to be made at
the Havana Pan-American conference
forbidding armed occupation of one
American republics territory by an
other-cou1d she withdraw from Haiti
and Nicaragua and promise never to
do it again? Would Italy abandon her
fascist dreams of power and territorial
expansion?
A general affirmative power is i'm
possible. The great powers cannot yet
be expected to give up the old game of
gobbling the w6lk which has been
played since the beginning of time and
complete disarmament would mean
their loss of a large part of the world
now ruled as conquered territory.
