A LEAGUE TO
ENFORCE PEACE
ROBERT GOLDSMITH
WITH A SPECIAL INTRODUCTION
BY DR. A. LAWRENCE LOWELL
'T^HE time is past when the United States can live
in seclusion from the rest of the world. For bet-ter
or for worse, we are a member of the society of
nations. We must now make choice between mili-tary
preparedness on the scale followed by Europe
and membership in a League of Nations which pro-vides
guaranties against sudden attack by any pow-er.
I believe that our people have the courage to
face facts as they now are and to determine their
policies unfettered by the traditions of a day to
which, however we may long for it, we can never
go back.
"The author of A LEAGUE TO ENFORCE
PEACE has written a timely book. But he has
done something better than that. On a serious sub-ject
he has written a book in popular vein that ought
to be read by every man and woman who wants to
see his country, in this crisis of civilization, choose
the course that will make the world a better and a
safer place for us and for our children's children."
—The Hon. William Howard Taft, formerly Presi.
dent of the United States.
