What reading level is The League of Nations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It stands also in the forefront of the Labour policy of international conciliation. Neither national recon- struction nor international conciliation is possible as long as the people are preoccupied with the menace of foreign aggression, and Governments are forced to spend huge sums yearly upon the means of national self-defence. In the past many necessary reforms have had to be postponed or altogether abandoned for 104 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS this reason. Future Chancellors of the Exchequer will... have a far more difficult task to raise the revenue necessary to meet the enormous charges arising out of the War ; and if they have to impose heavy taxation for military purposes the nation will be unable to bear the additional burden of expenditure involved in the great and far-reaching schemes of social recon- struction which the War has made imperative. If nations are to be forced to continue to pay the blood- tax, even on the pre-war scale, it is useless to talk of reform.
But we can be quite certain that warlike expendi- ture on the pre-war scale, unless measures can be devised to safeguard the security of nations, will not be adequate: if the nations have to organize their resources for future war they will do so in a far more thorough fashion.
