Show i t E Entangling Alliances One or of the principal arguments advanced by certain senators rit at Washington against ag the proposed league of nations is that it f will ilI bring the the- United States into entangling alliances with other nations particularly with the nations of the old world In support support sup sup- port of the argument have been advanced the opinions of George Washington and his words are entitled to careful consideration but it is submitted that the world has grown since the days of President Washington and conditi conditions ns exist today of which he nev never r dreamed I As A's a matter of fact the entangling alliance proposed is nomore no nomore more entangling and certainly less dangerous than many treaties we lie have entered into with foreign nations The proposed league of nations will supersede all treaties It will in fact be one great and general treaty between all civilized nations guaranteeing to toone one and all equal protection against secret and dangerous pacts Th The world has grown too small with modern conveniences of travel and communication for or the United States to continue in its role roie of glorious isolation We have become entangled with theold the theold old world in every way We are still in partnership with the leading nations for the overthrow of a merciless autocracy We I have for years years' been allied with them in trade agreements immigration j gration arrangements postal exchanges and in many other ways Entangling therefore cannot be considered a new thing nor particularly part dangerous To the contrary it will be the finest accomplishment of history if it will protect the world from such a cata catastrophe as has been enacted during the last four years |
