War Costs and the League of Nations
A critique of costly wars aimed at territorial gains and resource extraction. It questions the use of millions spent on conflict versus peaceful expansion and highlights propaganda's impact on mothers and public sentiment. The text argues for avoiding war and supports the League of Nations as a preventive agency.
