THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
WHAT PROTECTION DOES IT GIVE? (To the Editor.) While in your leader of the 17th hist, you point out the weakness of the League of Nations, and .the League is unquestionable weak, you say '-Yet it remains the svnZl of hope for the world. It is the on e bulwariagainst a return to the gospel of force." What ever the League of Nations is, it is most c ' tainly not the "symbol of hope for the world'"' All that it is symbolical of is its own inco m petence and complete inability to d»al with any situation that confronts it. It i 3 rea iu! a wild exaggeration to talk of the League beinV the one bulwark against a return °t 0 force It has utterly failed to keep the peace between its own members, just as it has failed to prevent them from cruelly suppressing certain smaller sections of their subjects, or° citizens What protection can the League <n-ant to anyone? It is quite unable to say that any one of its ever-lessening number of memoirs will ever keep the peace, or even will be ahle to keep the peace, with any other one or more of its members for any stated length of time D.
