AMERICA AND THE TENTH ASSEMBLY.
Concurrently with Mr. H. G. Wells' outburst against the League of Nations several American commentators were expressing the opinion that the Tenth Assembly had con- vincingly proved that the League is doing very well indeed. " The Tenth Assembly of the League passes into history as the most fruitful and constructive session yet held by that body," the Brooklyn Eagle declares. "Geneva is invaluable," says the Springfield Republican. " The League is not only an effective going concern," the New York World thinks, " but is growing in vitality and influence with the passing years." " Only the most embittered enemy of the League can fail to be impressed by the swelling record of its achievements," the New York .Times concludes. But there is little, if any, change of heart among opponents of the League. The Hearst papers continue the agitation against the Root Formula, while the Boston Evening Transcript considers that the last ten years " confirm our people in the opinion that straightening old world snarls is no part of their business or desire."
