What reading level is America And the League of Nations Addresses in Europe Woodrow Wilson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That sturdy, serene soldier stood and uttered not the words of triumph, but the simple words of affection for his soldiers and the conviction which he summed up in a sen- tence which I will not try accurately to quote, but repro- duce in its spirit. It was that France must always remember that the small and the weak could never live free in the 9 o AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS world unless the strong and the great always put their power and their strength in the service of right.
That is t...he afterthought — the thought that something must be done now, not only to make the just settlements — that, of course — but to see that the settlements remained and were observed and that honor and justice prevail in the world. And as I have conversed with the soldiers I have been more and more aware that they fought for some- thing that not all of them had defined, but which all of them recognized the moment you stated it to them. They fought to do away with an old order and to establish a new one, and the center and characteristic of the old order was that unstable thing which we used to call the " balance of power, " a thing in which the balance was determined by the sword which was thrown in on the one side or the other, a balance which was determined by the unstable equilibrium of competitive interests, a balance which was maintained by jealous watchfulness and an antagonism of interests which, though it was generally latent, was always deep-seated.
