Henry Cabot Lodge: Speech Opposing the League of Nations

( 1919 ) Commentary by Justus D. Doenecke, New College of Florida

“No question has ever confronted the United States which equals in importance that which is involved in the league of nations intended to secure the future peace of the world.” - Speech Opposing the League of Nations
“The real essence of that doctrine [Monroe Doctrine] is that American questions shall be settled by Americans alone; that the Americas shall be separated from Europe in purely American questions. That is the vital principle of the doctrine.” - Speech Opposing the League of Nations
