I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples.

There is no short and easy road, no magic cure for those ills which have afflicted mankind from the dawn of history.

Each one of these treaties is a step for the maintenance of peace, an additional guarantee against war. It is through such machinery that the disputes between nations will be settled and war prevented.

To be sure, in some instances these proceedings have been unconstitutional, but we must remember that it is not the first time since a war that there have been changes in governments by such methods.
