SOURCE G There exist inside the League two ideas about how best to preserve peace. There is the idea that when a state announces a foreign policy based on aggression and invading other countries’ frontiers, the League has the duty of declaring that it will fight such a policy with every means at its disposal. There  is,  however,  another  idea  that  the  aggressor  should  be  treated  with  consideration  and  that  negotiations should be carried out with the assurance that no collective action will be carried out.  Unfortunately, this is the policy that has so far been followed and it has as its consequences three wars and threatens to bring us a fourth. Maxim Litvinov speaking at the League of Nations Assembly, September 1938. Litvinov was in charge of Soviet foreign policy.

SOURCE F I  would  like  to  speak  about  the  League  and  the  policy  of  collective  security  which  we  have  whole-heartedly supported with such disappointing results. The dispute between Italy and Abyssinia was a perfect opportunity for the exercise of that policy. It has been tried based on sanctions and it has failed to prevent war, failed to save the victim from the aggressor. The other day the President of the League of Nations said that if we were to pursue the policy of sanctions it was still possible to preserve the independence of Abyssinia. That seems to me to be madness. We must admit we have tried to impose upon the League a task which was beyond its powers to fulfill. It is time to limit the functions of the League so that they match with its real powers.  But if the League is to be limited in that way it must be admitted that it could no longer be relied upon to secure the peace of the world. From a speech by Neville Chamberlain, a leading member of the British  government, June 1936.
