'HAT пbout the poor old Leagte of Nations now?" Sometimes the question1 comes fcerily, sometimes plty- ingly. But think I know the rough answer.
The League will go on. And the Lengue will develop. ¿Were it de^~ troyed by some catastrophe, it would be recreated.) But it will develop into something decidedly different from the design of 1018.
I suppose that that, in the eyes of orthodoxy, is heresy. But feels are more important than dogmas. Alt the fact is it institutions under pres sure of reality always srow to sonic- thing which their first designers never foresaw. Things change: and must. adapt themselves to environment i they, are to arrive.

Her thesis is threefold. Tlut the whole chargeter of the Leaguo was warped and perverted by its begin-. nings, by ita double rôle no a League of Nations and an Allance of Vietōra.

Mr. Wells is n long time getting into his stride (I fancy he played with several ideas before he struck the

All of which is well worth whisking about.
