thought to be very tired after match,
that has not been true for more than
two years, except in my final round
match against Perry in our 1884
national championship at Forest Hills.
My fatigue in 1894 was due to the fact
that had played seven hard matches
in succession on my way to the
final, and not because of that one
match

it was Perry's ability to choose the

trigger may be pulled by a nervous or
plotting hand, using the League as a
cloak for aggression. But that dan
ger exists under any arrangement so
long as the war system is with us. The
point which the Soviets make Is that
the strategy Of peace must be as ef-
fective as that OF war.
What short memories the commen-
tators on these matters have No.
where in the press comments on the
Soviet plan have seen any reference
to the fact that this was all worked
out in the early days Of the League,
In the draft treaty for disarmament
and security of 1923, of which Lord
Robert Cecil was the chief proponent.
The plan to permit immediate auto
matte action under the terms of a
regional agreement was presented by
colonel-now general-Requin of the
French general staff. 1t has been re-
peated more than once in the plans
OF succeeding years. But 1t Is now to
the forefront Of those suggestions
which are being made to give the
League vitality.
Along the same lines is the pro-
posal, made by nearly all governments,
to do away with the unanimity rule
in the application of Article XXI. This
Is the crucial article of the Covenant
the one which declares that war, or
the threat Of war, anywhere 'is q
matter Of concern to the whole League
and the League shall take any action
that may be deemed wise and efiectual
to safeguard the peace of nations" It
is a definite break with the theory
of sovereignty to have decisions Of
such gravity taken by majority; but,
after all, the first step in this direc-
tion was taken in the clause Just
quoted.
Additional Protocols.
The changes in the technique of
Geneva will not be made by q revision
of the Covenant, but by additional
protocols. II the doors were opened
to Covenant revision, two opposing
schools Of thought would make agree
ment almost impossible; the same two
sides would line up as in the Senate
debates Of 1919.
On the one hand, there are those
who want to strengthen the obliga-
ton to apply sanctions; on the other
hand, 1t Is claimed that nothing Is
gained by putting promises on paper
that will not be lived up to In prac-
tice. The weight of opinion Is with
the latter. but the former group Is
still strong.
So far we have been dealing only
with war prevention. But there Is
another side to the Leagues activities
which must be kept In mind II it is to
be something more than an instru-
ment for maintaining the status quo.
It must provide as well for peaceful
change Otherwise the demand for
change will be . continual menace to
peace. &
