AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE
REASONS FOR KEEPING OUT , Dr. Temple, Archbishop of York, who has recently visited America, in an interview on his return to England, said: —One leading man, who is opposed to America joining the League of Nations, and whose name I must not mention, because my talk with him was private, put an interesting point of view in giving his reasons. “We have our great communities here from most European nations,” he explained, “and they make various contributions to our national life. If the United States were in the League, therefore, and questions were constantly being raised about the attitude which our representatives were to adopt at Geneva, there would be a ten. dency for these communities to become more organised bodies, who might oppose the United States Government on issues which particularly interested them as a group and so divide people in America.” This man believed, Dr. Temple continued, that the movement to mould the whole American people into a nation might be hampered by United States membership of the League—and there is a great desire there to develop a united feeling.
