Excerpt from The Covenant of Peace: An Essay on the League of Nations

The following essay was written and published in the summer of 1918. It assumes, consequently, a state of facts with respect to the European Alliances, which the victory of the Allies and its consequences have falsified. He speaks on page 10 of Middle Europe as if it were on the point of realization, whereas it collapsed with the military defeat of Germany and with the re lease of the minor nationalities of Central Europe from Hungarian and German domination. But the disintegration of Middle Europe alters the application rather than diminishes the force of that part of his argument. It is more true than it was when he wrote last summer that we shall have to make either one supernational League or two. For the moment the alliance of the five largest victors in the war is and looks as if it would continue to be irresistible. Yet if there is any certainty in politics, it is certain that a partial alliance among these nations whose eyes like those of other partial alliances would be fixedou preponderance of power andwhich would, consequently, connive at injustices committed by its own members, would provoke in the compara tively near future the formation of an effective counter-alliance. It is a choice not between inde~ pendent nationalism and a League of Nations but between two mutually exclusive conceptions of an international league.
