nation at the expense of another Is

present crisis will mean the death OF
the League. What it has done for the
peace of the world, its achievements
and failures in the earlier years of its
history. are told in the books and mag
azine articles selected by the Public

be necessary to create that basis of
cooperation which, in 1919, was mis-
takenly assumed to exist already. But
no such basis did exist then, and in
the post war years no serious attempt
has been made to create it. Instead,

calculated to perpetuate inequality In
