Excerpt from Selected Articles on a League of Nations This volume, true to the purpose of the Series, is not in tended as propaganda in favor of a league of nations, nor to oppose it; but to reflect as impartially as may be, the develop ment and present status of the idea, and the arguments against it as well as those in favor. The articles reprinted are ar ranged to set forth, first of all, President Wilson's conception of a league of nations as outlined in his recent papers and ad dresses, the historical background, the development of the idea to date and the movements to advance it, with endorsements of the idea from leading men and organizations. This is followed by a general discussion where appear the arguments in favor of a league of nations, the objections to it and the difficulties that lie in the way of its realization. A selected bibliography is in cluded for the convenience of any who may wish to pursue the subject beyond the limits of this volume.
