chief driving force behind this propaganda is however that
of financial nternatonaists who seek the security of huge
foreign investments and large eXpecant profits from world
wide economic Imperialism In neither case does there seem
to be any adequate comprehension of what will happen to the
American economic and political fabric when the American

We asked however, to submit ourselves to the ursdc

of law is that enacted at Geneva, which may

Another phase of this situation which attracts

Emphasis is placed upon the thought that the United
States whenever dissatisfied withdraw from the Court
Theodore Roosevelt declared that the United States should
