MAGAZINE CONTINUOUS WORK FOR THE LEAGUE HAT peace wiseacres dreamed of adown the ages has come to life through the travail of Circumstances call for the exercise of every effort to protect the new-born League of Nations from strangulation. Erratic passions engendered by the war still persist among all belligerents. Dissatisfied standpatters and disconcerted radicals in each country profess to have no use for the League. Believers in the promise of an improved order of affairs incarnate in the League, must rally to its support.

But the great fact stands out that in principle and practice responsible statesmen have accepted the League of Nations as a valid instrument for securing and maintaining peace with justice among all nations. Never before was there so much reason to believe that public opinion can make a League work right. Common sense urges united effort to assure the ratification of the League Treaty in the best form obtainable at the present time. No less urgent is the continuous educational work required especially during the next decade to make the League succeed in solving acute problems of readjust |
