It concludes by expressing the con- viction that Holland, one of the first to claim .a place in the League of Na- «tions, will not desire to cover by moral authority violation of'the eSSen- tial principles of the solidarity of na- tions, and that all are interested to prevent a return of a similar catas- trophe.
