O'Ryan, Who Lead Heroic 27th Division Which Helped to Break the Hindenburg Line, Sees Oppor- tunity Knocking at America's Door Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan has 'clear views on the value of hav- ing the United States within the League of Nations in all crises which threaten the peace of the world. He knows how inevitable it is that, once the conflagration is started, we shall eventually have to participate in putting out the fire as we did in 1917. Gen. O'Ryan knows from the keenest of per- sonal experiences what war is. He was commander of the Twenty- seventh when it went into the mouth of Hell to aid in break- Jo-n F. O Ryan ing the famous Major Gen. Hindenburg Line, and he wants no repetition of experiences of that kind. Mussolini shocked the conscience of the entire world in seizing Corfu. When he found himself faced with this adverse public opinion focussed at Geneva and Paris, Mussolini weakened in his recalcitrancy, and announced that he did not intend war. He had the organized opinion of fifty-two nations of the world against him. America was not rep- resented in that organized opinion -our press and people had to ex- press it without the help of Wash- ington. Gen. O'Ryan thinks that if the United States had been a member of the League, Mussolini would have thought twice before seizing Corfu. In a statement expressly prepar- d -r the LLAGUE OF NATIO S I , Gen. O'Ryan writes: I find it dif- ficult to believe t h at, i f th e United S tates were a member of the League and represented as it would be on the Council of the League, the Italian Gov- Mussolini ernment would h a v e claimed that the dispute was not one prop- erly before the League. A repre- sentative of the United States on the Council, would not have been interested in the political ambitions and relations of the Continental Eu- ropean countries, except as they came before the League, and hence would view any such question of jurisdiction, if it were raised, strictly upon its merits, and just as Great Britain's representative, Lord Robert Cecil, viewed the question.

He is one of the League's foremost protagonists. In discus- sions of all the big questions, if he is not present in person, so lorninant is his personality and his thought in matters of proce- dure and policy, that one has the feeling he is at least present in Lord Robert Cecil stood out as the (Continuted on In that mo- mentous debate ten days ago, when the Coun- cil was consid- ering the ques- tion of the League's com- petence to act in the Greco- Italian dispute, it was Lord Robert who leading figure in page 8, col. 3) PROF.
