Each one also agrees in the absence of arbitration to submit the dispute to an inquiry of the council and not to go to war against the nation in| whose favor the recommendation is made. | Will these promises -be kept? 1 believe they will’ be. A nation’s promise can never again be regard: | (ed as a scrap of paper. NO NATION SO FOOLHARDY AS TO WAR ON WORLD promises is held to commit an act of war not only against the nation | it attacks but also against every other member of the league—prac- tically the whole world. No nation would dare take such foolhardy step because it would at once be subjected to a paralyzing boycott and blockade worse even than the one which crushed Germany. If/ necessdry that would be followed by united military and naval action by | the nations under the recommenda. tion of the council. These terrible and crushing conse quences are enough to prevent any nation from breaking its promise by | going to war. | Disputes therefore will be settled | peacefully and will not lead to war. | Article 10 will prevent wars of con- quest because all members guaran. tee the political independence and territorial integrity of each member. As the United States alone by the Monroe Doctrine was able by threat of war to prevent any European na | tion from attacking any republic in the western hemisphere, #o with | even more certainty can the more than 20 nations by a similar warn- ing in Article 10 prevent any nation | from attempting to conquer any other nation in any part of the world. EXAMPLE OF DISARMING | NATIONS Disarmament by united action ts | provided for under the guidance of | the council of nine nations, It will| be gradual and by agreement. Each accept or reject the recommendation, but as the people of all countries want to get rid of war| taxes it is probable that any reas- onable recommendation will be} Promptly accepted.
