Lesson From the Past
Philadelphia Record


Senator Joseph E. Guffey brought timely
warning from the past in his great speech commem-
Grating the 85th anniversary of the birth of Wood
Wilson.
1t is warning that this time must not win
the only to lose the peace
Wilson has been proved right and his detractors
wrong in his prediction that world war would come
again if the nations of the world did not learn to
cooperate.
Whether Wilson correct in saying that the
solution lay in the League Nations it then
set up, no one knows. Certainly his opponents had
solution-except TO beat Wilson.
Possibly Wilson was merely ahead of his time.
Possibly the League of Nations would have been
the answer if we had joined it.
Possibly it wouldn't.
But the point is: We did not find the answer
last time We must find one this time.
Senator Guffey hailed the unity this country
has shown during time.
That same unity must be carried through when
peace
1t was partsanship that wrecked Wilson's plans.
Much of the opposition from politicians who
were not SO much against the League as against
Wilson.
We must not make that mistake again. Unity
must replace partsanshp, not only for duration of
the war, but for the making of peace.
Senator Guffey deserves the nations thanks for
bringing it a reminder of the dangers that wrecked
hopes for permanent peace 20 years ago.
