I
yield to no one in my devotion to this great League of Nations, but not
even for this will I destroy that smaller but older league of
which my own country was the birthplace, and of
which it remains the centre? Beware how you so draw
tight the bonds, how you so pile obligation on
obligation and sanction on sanction, lest at last you find that
you are not living nations but dead states.
1927 Speech, League of Nations Assembly, Geneva, 9 Sep. | ||
