Excerpt from The Greater War
It is our duty to accept the League of Nations handed to us by the Paris Conference, despite its almost brazen defects, and to make of it a point of departure toward that world-society, that real brotherhood of nations, which dwells in the expectation, in the determination indeed, of the peoples now duped and despairing. I do not suppose the present League is what the President desired; but, against doubtless overwhelming odds, against a diplomatic skepticism well-nigh universal, he has held fast to his primal purpose, and has taken what accomplishment he could get. It is something that the Great Idea is in the world, that it has forced the consent of governments, even though it be but badly formed, as yet, and scantily clothed.
