INTERNATIONAL AMITY.
NEED FOR REALISTIC VIEW. WASHINGTON, July 23. A post-war association of nations strong enough to guarantee disarmament and equal economic opportunities was tho ideal for which peoples of goodwill should strive as flic foundation of permanent peace, said the Assistant Secretary of State (Air Sumner Welles) in an address. Free governments and peace-loving peoples should now be preparing for “the better day” that would come with the crushing defeat of those who were sacrificing mankind to their own lust for power and loot. Air AVelles contended that the League of Nations had failed in part liecause of the blind selfishness of men in the United States as elsewhere. The League failed chiefly because it was forced to operate as a means of maintaining the status quo. It was never able, to operate, as Woodrow AVilson intended, as an elastic, impartial instrument bringing about peaceful and equitable adjustments between nations. |
