When asked by the Eves'ino Pobmo Ledoer for his opinion of the draft, Mr. Lewis dictated this statement: "It Is" with much hesitation that I venture to express any opinion, in an swer to jour request, upon the draft for a proposed league of nations. Whether It is to the Interest of the United States Government to be a party to such a league Is a question not to be lightly answered because. It would require a careful determination of what tho fu ture policy of the government should' be with reference to concerning llsejf with the troubles of Turope. At the same time any effort which seeks to reduce the danger of war ought to be en couraged. "The underlvlng trouble with any league of the character proposed la the fact that Its efficiency depends almost solely upon the honesty of purpose with which those party to It carry It out and there Is alwajs an advantago politically In favor of a dishonest signatory who secretly violates the agreement or con nives at Its violation in favor of a friendly neighbor. ' Human nature is the same today ns It was jesterday. and probably will be the same forever, and as communities are maae or inaiviauais, tneir numnn nature, so to speak, Is the same exactly as that of their component Individuals Hence it may be doubted whether some thing more than mere moral Buaslon Is not necessary In order to enforce a league of peace, because any dishonest power may treat the agreement as a mere scrap or paper. "As far as the nctual terms of the agreement ure concerned, they are clearly and easily understood, so that the question for our legislators to de- clde is simply whether the proposed league is an advantage to mis counirj or noi In conversation Mr. Iewls said 'There Is an adage among law vers that no contract can bind a thief Suppose some time In the future (Jermany nnd France should find It to their Interests to unite against the league of nations.
