"It is not the League that has failed the nations; if is the nations that have failed the League," was the conclusion of Bishop Charles H. Brent's speech last night at Phillips Brooks House on an "Inside View of the League of Nations."
"If there had been no league,--no opportunity for the small nations to band together,--the recent Italian-Greek controversy would have led to another great European conflagration. We must be fair to the League, whether or no we want to join. It is young and must win its way, just as the United States had to win its way."
Bishop Brent described the persennel of the Secretariat of the League and told of his own experiences as a member of one of the committees of the Assembly. He explained the workings of the Covenant saying that the "League is not a super-state, but a servant trying to benefit humanity. It is not living up to the Covenant, and I am glad of that. It does not resort to force. After all public opinion is the power behind the League."
