If the Republicans win then we can be sure that the League of Nations, which already has declined from the bourgeola conception of a superstate to that of a rickety tribunal without funds and without sanctions, will fall still further to the dusty stage of pious resolution. We ourselves think that every argument that applies against committing Great Britain to Interference by an outside body in its Internal' af fairs and to Ita responsibility for duties concerning which it has no deciding voice, applies with ten times the ef fect to the United States.
