Peace Conference Previews
BY PROF. J. L. SELLERS
LARGE AND SMALL STATES.
The voting of large and small
siaics creates one of the greatest
problems in organizing the world
for peace. Small states claim
equality in sovereign rights and
claim an equal voice in any world
organization. They wish to con
tribute according to their size and
wealth but vote according to their
sovereignty. The great states must
oear me great burden of world
security. The British have pro
vided such freedom and security
on the high seas as the world has
enjoyed for three and a half cen
turies. The small maritime states
of northwest Europe have flour
ished on this British gratuity.
At times ihf small nnt
furnished the easv starting
grounds from which
iauncn attacks upon their more
powerful neighbors. The Low
lands have manv timM simnli
the undefended frontiers by which
aggressors pas around the de
fenses of their nnirfent anrf urn
fortified rivals to a raDid and easv
conquest. The privileges claimed
by small states and cranio ihom
by the great Dowers is rlparlv nni
ot me greatest mreats to enduring
J peace. The popular mind seems
always ready to support the con
tentions of a small state against
a great one. The creator states
make concessions to small neigh-
oors much more readily than they
wouio. to great ones.
Justice demands that small
states be forced to face their own
impotency. If thev exneet to be
secured Dy a great power they
should join the svstem of defense
that they expect to rely upon, and
give mat power the use or their
territory and resources. No per
son or neonle is entitled to pninv
the freedom of anarchy and to
claim the order and seeuritv of
its self-disciplined, orderly, and
defense-supporting neighbors.
A world organization that cives
to small and Croat nations an
equal voice in its control Is
founded upon a false DrineiDle
that will reduce the organization
to futility. An international or
ganization to succeed must be
founded upon the just principle of
the political equality of man. A
man in a small state is entitled
to only as much political weight
as a man In a large state. It
will belificult to reduce sovereign
slates to proportional representa
tion in a co-operative security or
ganization. It Is worth a great
struggle and the peoples of the
o'kc siaies win nave to make
their stand. Enduring peace de
