No
nation is so great as to be able to afford, in the long run, to remain outside
an increasingly universal League of Nations.
The
obstacles are not insuperable. But whatever they may be, we must tackle them head
on, for they are much less than the dangers which will continue to menace civilization
if present conditions continue any longer. The world cannot be left where it is
at present. If the nations do not try to annihilate war, then war will annihilate
them. Some kind of common action by all states who set a value on peace is a compelling
necessity, and instead of shrinking from the difficulties, we must recognize this
necessity and then go forward."
