TOPICS OF THE DAY
What of the League ? ‘•What of the League of Nations?” asks Lord Weston. “Has it no part to play in all this arranging of the future ? Decidedly it has. The problems we have been considering are for the European Powers to settle, though from the experience and machinery of the League much useful help may be obtained. But the problems of the rest of the world will go on, and those on which the League and its sister organ, the International Labour Office, have specialised could not be in better hands. As an agency for collective security and for curbing aggression the League has abdicated; and the Covenant will have to be amended in this respect, as also probably in others. As a centre, however, where the men and women who are prominent in the public life of the world can meet and work together in the service of their common humanity, it will steadily grow in value* and influence.”
