"Of course the reason Senato Harding has no substitute to sugges for the league of nations is becaus everything else has been tried am has failed.

And as fo the great alliances instead of pre venting war by ' a 'balance of powei they provoked war by the multiplies tion of arms and munitions of'battli fleets and standing armies.
