At the outset of the Great War, amid the desoluation and gloom, one belief shone through the murkiness. It was that after such a world-involving calamity lasting peace must ensue. When the war ended, statesmen enthusiastically took up their task making certain that peace. But politics and petty jealousy overcame their ardor until there could be no absolute surety that such a catastrophe might not reoccur.
Now in the latest attempt to outlaw war put forward by Secretary Kellogg, the affair seems to have reached an impasse yet once again. France has joined with the United States with apparently reasonable conditions, though Britain. Germany, Italy, and Japan have still to be won over. But even the conditions, logical as they seem, are objected to by the United States. France now puts the whole onus of the affair on America. She stands by, with her safeguarding reservations, and watches until the other powers are brought into line.
Such an outcome as the world hopes for is extremeley unlikely. The United States, aside from its unwillingness to undertake such a task in international politics, would probably not be able single-handed to accomplish its end. The four horsemen are not yet dismounted.
