add to cart   close window

The article discusses various issues related with the Treaty of Versailles signed between Allies and Germany in 1919. The article says that there can be no progress it would seem in the matter of land disarmament while the terms of that treaty remain unchanged. This was plainly disclosed by the representatives of several nations when the disarmament resolution was before the first meeting of the League Assembly at Geneva. It was clearly stated that so long as the Versailles Treaty remained, Europe must remain armed. The treaty is grounded in imperialism. It dismembers nations, divides peoples, and separates races. Such a treaty can last no longer than there is sufficient military force back of it to enforce it.
