BIRTH.
The expericnoon of the past indicate that these agreements. not infrequently pro duce the antithesis of heaven. In the oyes of those enthusiasts the League has fallen far short of their expectations and they are not slow, in condemning the the half- Governmenta concerned for hearted support they have extended to America's abandoned off-spring On. the other hand, we suggest that if an out. and-out opponent of the League takes the trouble to draw up a list of its achieve menta ho. will be obliged to admit that it has gone
some considerable way towards "justifying its existence.
Much of the work it has done in what may be described as the speial side of inter- pational lifs is far frgin spectacular and has passed unnoticed. Especially has progress been made in such matters as the co-ordination of international' sanit. ation, and the investigation of labour questions. On the more popular side, the most striking of the League's achieve ments to date have been the Silesian question, the Supreme International Court, and the recent entrustment to the. Lengue of the Enancial salvation of Austria,
"The League is impotent," says M. CEICHERIN. Incidentally, he states that it is organized," which it certainly is not, from a 'world point of view, "so long As "Russia," Germany and the United "States are not amongst its members. Writing without the advantage of having bis speech before us, we may err when we.deduce from his remark that he thinks the League should be able, of its own One resources, to clinch its decisions. may say at once that from this point of view the League certainly, is impotent. Many of its opponents faster on this |fact and held it up as a source of fatal weakness. For our part, we think it essential that the League should remain, at least for many years, impotent in this particular respect: The League, as we chance of see it, has absolutely no functioning bencficially in the role of International dictator, nor is it 'cast for the part of benevolent autocrat. The spirit of nationalism abroad in the world is as yet for too strong, and though, in the course of a few centuries, some form of World Parliament may be evolved from-the present League, that possibility is still far too remote to be other than a vague ideal. At present, the League is an instrument of international public opinion and the record of its activities, its successes and ita failures, depending as they do upon the support of the public, are an index to the morality and decency of world opinion. Those who
S. WATSON & declare that the League will not succeed in averting another great war are simply saying that the people will not bother to prevent war. World opinion, which is another way of talking about collective human nature, is still in a distinctly vile condition and it is ridiculous to expect the League to work miracles.
