tho old offer noth'ng but quarrel
some jabbering? Tho opposition to
tho League of Nations is like that

then let tho world accept the peace

They aro a practical basis for ending
war. If they had been adopted by
all countries in 1914, tWs war would
never havo taken place. And lot
us then go further and induce all
nations to agree that no nation shall
go to war without first obtaining by
referendum vote tho consent of its
