So now the nations throughout the world are
beginning to feel as though they should all unite into
75 one solid organization, which will insure the world of
everlasting peace, without interference from any one
particular nation. Tis is the idea that gave birth to the
League of Nations.
Tere are some who doubt whether the League
80 will live up to these expectations of wiping war from
the face of the earth. Of course, this is all guess work,
but the idea seems like a good one and we believe it is
worth trying.
