AUGUST,-1921
The Commoner
tiona during his three years service
us Secretary of State. The World
War broke before similar treaties
were negdtiated with Germany and
'Austria. Lord Grey recently said that
if such a time provision had been
in the treaties between European
powers In the summer of 1914, the
war "would not have been fought.
And finally, as if summing up, it
denounces wars of conquest and
spoliation. Simply, directly expressed
it declares that a war waged for ter
ritorial aggrandizement fs an inter
national crime, that the aggressor
is a criminal, and that the nations of
the earth in concert covenant to en
join the crime and to punish the
criminal. On this article has been
concentrated the wrath of all the op
ponents of the league. They strange
ly forget the pledge the allied nations
made in the armistice terms to do
this definite thing. They stupidly
assert that an . attempt to prevent
wars of conquest will not make for
peace. They disingenuously argue
friend, of entangling alliances. En
tangling alliances are secret agree
ments between two or more nations
of themselves, by themselves, and
for themselves and against the other
nations and maybe against all the
other nations. If to make common
cause with others having a common
danger is an entangling alliance, then
when wo entered the war with our
allies to save the white man's civili
zation we heeded not- the warnine
Of Washington, but entered into on
entangling alliance! If it was not
an entangling alliance to make war,
it Is not an entangling alliance to
end war. If the objections be sbund,
they are far-reaching, and there
should, therefore; be no co-operation,
no co-ordination, no concert whatso
ever to insure the peace of the world.
Avaunt the damping thought! A.way
with the friends of war and the ene
mies of peace! If the existing league,
to which fifty nations have sub
scribed, confers , too much power,
amend it; If it confers too little now-
that under it the league can inter-l?r' am!nd J' " ! unworkable,
fere with the internal affairs of a
state. Larceny, robbery, burglary,
and murder are catalogued as
crimes m. the penal code of every
nation. They should be catalogued
as such in the international penal
code of, the Civilized states.
The tasfc. of commencing the Great
Peace, structure is on thiri generation
for the work will not -wait.
The task Of building, completing
it, is on the next generation I mean
the young , men and youn women
now just coming on the stage. The
world for the next' fifty years, is in
their keeping , under 'God's guid
ance, It will "be" What they make it.
If they knew what their fathers and

and decree that aggressive war shall
be no more, I ,say "aggressive" 'bo-,
cause every self-respecting, patriotic
man and woman, would fight to death
in defense of-hgme and country. But
I say again and again, that mankind
has the power, by organized will and
organized effort, to prevent, absolute
ly prevent, any offending nation
from waging a war of aggression. v
The noble aim of the covenant of
the league' is world peace. That the
means invoked are effective instru
mentalities of peace are unchallenged
and unchallengeable. They can be
employed only by the nations in co
ordination and co-operation, in con
cert and In coh tract. But the enemies
of the league" here say it shall n6t
live; that it shall not bo. It has been
reserved for us, the American peo
ple, toflle the first great protest,
to souifd the first discordant mote.
They say that the .covenant of the
league impairs the Sovereignty of the
member nations and creates a super
state. In the sense that It restricts
the otherwise unrestrained freedom
, of action of the najfcions that join,
exactly as does any treaty, the Im
pairment of sovereignty to that ex
tent is. admitted." If the granting
of some power to a common organ
ization. that is tlio property of allj
the nations involves a corresponding
surrender of powet by the members
creating -the organization and there-
by establishes a' superstate, then the
friends: of. the ) league admit the
chargev But how' else can any' so
ciety. of nations, worth the dame,
be. created n'd maintained? But
clear thinking people everywhere do
not want a fiupeYs'tattf, but wanif h

I,
amend it, but do not destroy the al
most-realized dream of all the peo
ples of ail the earth. The nation3 of
the world are today under the neces
sity of chooBing one of two alterna
tives the old way or the new, com
petition or co-operation,- the Instru
mentalities of war - or the. ' instrumentalities''-of
peace, blessings or
curses which?. Which?
Let us, therefore, be not deceived.
"Let him who thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall." We are
strong, but 'not all-powerful. We are
at peace, but our peace is not se
cure. The nations need us, but we,
too, need the other nations of the
world. The world is groping" In the
darkness, but moving toward thoJ
dawn. The duty is on us and the
power is with us to lift the nations
and, the races outof the darkness
and through the dawn and into the
light of a new day of peace on earth
and good will toward men., God
grant that we may see the duty and
seize the power, but whether America
helps or not, war must end or the'
end of all is in sight.
That chemical laboratories have
recently developed poisonous gases
for use as .weapons ofx war deadly
beyond anything mankind has ever
known 'is the grimmest reality of
modern life. It is not only prob
able, but almost certain, that .these
new agencies of destruction will be
capable of destroying millions of
people within the period of a day or
an hour. Urgingsthat they be for
bidden by solemn agreement between
civilized nations w'ill go for naught.
It' is the business of war to destroy
human life. The World War dem
onstrated the fact that, once loose
the passions and the fears of war,
the most effective instruments of
death will bev employed "
John Haynes Holmes sums it up
in this startling way: "We must get
rid of ' this 'abomination of desola
tion' as the price of racial survival!
One Or the other must go. The world
IB no longer large enougu or mrgug
enough to hojd both war., and map.
To get a program of some, kind, to
put it through amT try it out, this
is the only thing that is worth to
day a moment's consideration. " We
solve this question now qr the end
is iri sight."
The soldier's way to stop war is
to make such powerful armies that
no other dares to attack.
The lawyers way to stap -war is to
write laws which will compel all the
nations, to settle disputes by arbitra
tion or by the judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
