it was not truly a league of nations at all. ok at muscling in invading ethiopia, he got slapped on hand. does a league of nations do anything when the japanese invaded china and 31 i-37? no. they put out a paper saying this probably should not have happened. i'm not a big fan of the league of nations. you can probably catch that. [laughter] the league of nations without armed forces was not going to make a difference. >> we have a online. would there have been a hitler had the been no world war i? -- had there been no world war i? hitler was nothing in germany . again, it was a depression. hitlere depression hit, took all the arguments against versailles, articles 231 and 232, germany started the war, therefore she must pay. it was economic troubles of the depression that brought him forward. it is a depression era that stalin was able to use to build up the russian army. you would not have had a hitler if it had not been for the depression. about one moreor question. anyone have a question? >> we are one more. >> does too much

the briand peace compact, and as i made my little speech, i pointed out that briand said the league of nations could not produce peace, but the league of nations was an instrument to be used by people, but peace would come in the hearts of men when peace -- when men really wanted peace, they would have peace. and i used that -- and i used that moment as an illustration, i said. the message of peace had come some 2,000 years ago, but if you remember, the parents of this child were turned away at the inn, like my parents -- like my principal and my teacher and i had been turned away. and i won the first prize with the unanimous vote of the judges. and the only black person in the room besides me was the janitor who had helped me find the drinking water when i was getting dressed. c-span: now, this is the north. >> guest: this is the north. this is pennsylvania, the great state of -- keystone state. c-span: now, at that time, you would have been how old? >> guest: i was 14. c-span: and that would have been in about... >> guest: in 1926... c-span: in '26? >> guest: no, it was 1927. c-span: in '27.
