Show Soviet Backs the League i The Soviet government, through ; its ambassador to Great Britain, i has served notice that it will op- ; pose any weakening ui the covenant coven-ant of the League of Nations. ; This will surprise many citizens i who were under the impression : that the League was dead and 1 awaiting the funeral services. What the Russians thinnk of the League, as a future Instrument of peace, is i plain. They insist that it has not I et had a "fair or conclusive trial." ' We are well aware of the fact that the people of the United States, acting through their political politi-cal servants, have rejected the League of Nations, and that, so far as the eye can see, there is no sentiment to reverse that decision. However, facts, are stubborn things, and we might as well understand that the world today is in a mad race to arm for warfare largely because the League, or a substitute, has not been adequate to the trying try-ing problems of the age. |
