What reading level is Patriotism And the Super-State book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
President Wilson is said to have supported this view. If those who framed the Covenant had intended to institute a super-national government, they would no doubt have made such provision ; but in that case the representation of governments would have been unnecessary, just as it has been proved unnecessary in existing federal constitutions. Since their ideas were rather those of alliance and arbitration, they were consistent in avoiding this complication. For these purposes the representation o...f governments is essential, and any popular assembly they might have devised could have existed only in a purely advisory capacity.
A popularly elected assembly would give an opening to determined minorities in the larger countries which cannot logically be given them under the present Covenant. All that could be granted without confusion is the opportunity of airing grievances j and the value of this is doubtful when there is no concurrent responsi- bility for remedying them.
This, then, is one alternative — a League in which each nation is represented by its existing government, standing for a definite policy, a League which advises and so influences policies in their formation, which mediates, and so breaks the harshness of their oppositions, THE SOCIETY OF NATIONS 93 which arbitrates and conciliates, and so ends and com- promises their occasional deadlock, a League to end conflict, after it has begun.
