Question

I have perceived more and more that men have been busy creating an absolutely false impression of what the treaty of peace and the Covenant of the League of Nations contain and mean . . . .

Unless you get the united, concerted purpose and power of the great governments of the world behind this settlement, it will fall down like a house of cards. There is only one power to put behind the liberation of mankind, and that is the power of mankind. It is the power of the united moral forces of the world, and in the Covenant of the League of Nations the moral forces of the world are mobilized . . . .
But, you say, ‘We have heard that we might be at a disadvantage in the League of Nations.’ Well, whoever told you that either was deliberately falsifying or he had not read the Covenant of the League of Nations . . . .
The council is the source of every active policy of the League, and no active policy of the League can be adopted without a unanimous vote of the council.� That is explicitly stated in the Covenant itself.� Does it not evidently follow that the League of Nations can adopt no policy whatever without the consent of the United States?
