But the difficulties cannot cannot can cann not be unless tr overcome o we try to overcome o them I believe it can cnn be bedone done Probably it will bo be Impossible to stop all wars but it certainly willbe will willbe willbe be possible to stop atop some sOmo wars and thus diminish their number The Thc wa way vay In which this problem Is to be bo worked out mutt must be left to this league and to those who are arc giving 11 this great question question question ques ques- tion the study which It deserves des I the obstacles I know how squarely wo we shall be met with the I stat statement m nt This Is a dangerous dang question question ques ques- I tion which you OU arc are putting Into this agreement that no ration can submit to the judgment of oC other nations and we must be careful at the beginning not to attempt too much I know tho the difficulties which arise when we speak of ot anything thiCh hl seems to Inv an tn alliance but bit I do not believe that when wen Washington ton warned us against I entangling alliances he meant for Cor one ono moment that we wo should not join with the other civilized nations of or the world worM If a method could be found to diminIsh diminish dimin dimin- ish war and encourage peace This league league- certainly has the highest of ar all ambitions for tor tho the benefit benefit bene bene- fit of or humanity and because

difficulties' my fellow renow citizens citi citi- zens and zens and most o of you are arc a witness s sto to this this lies lies the unwillingness of or men mon mento mento monto to get Jet together and talk It over o Half of oC the temper which now no ex exIsts exists exists ex- ex between those who perform labor and those who direct labor Is due to tho the fact that those who direct labor wont won't talk differences over o with the themen themen themen men whom the they employ I am in every ery such instance convinced con that they the dare not talk It t over Not only th that t but every time the two VO sides sideS' do g get to together together to- to gether gother and talk it over together they come out of oC the conference In a different different dif dlf- ferent terent temper from
