Why is not the war which France and Spain are carrying on in northern Africa justiciable by the league. and why has not the league stretched out its hand in that dispute? The answer is that there people are standing on their naked heels fighting for home and liberty against two tyrannical forces bent upon their destruction. Why is not our dispute with Japan over the question of immigration also a matter for league consideration and decision? In addition to these broad powers. the league. by specific provision. asserts its dominance. The league assumes. under Article VIII. to submit plans for the reduction of armaments in every country. and while it Is true that the limits thus recommended are not binding until they have been considered and acted upon by the several governments. nevertheless. once such action is taken the respective nations of the world are deprived of the right thereafter to regulate their own armament. save with the permission of the council.
