...nations signed the Kellogg-Briand pact, renouncing war as a means of settling international disputes. Next year, Frank Billings Kellogg was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for sponsoring it. Last week, in St. Paul, Statesman Kellogg, 81, died of pneumonia (see p. 41). His death and that of onetime Secretary of War Newton D. Baker coincided ironically with his country's gravest international crisis since 1917, a crisis caused by the war between China and Japan upon which the only discernible influence of the Kellogg Pact was the fact that both sides had politely refrained from declaring...
...although the U. S. rejected the League of Nations, it successively sponsored limitation of naval armaments, the Kellogg Pact renouncing war, and finally this year's pacifistic Neutrality Act. As the rest of the world appeared progressively to forget the horrors of war, the U. S. appeared progressively to forget all horrors save those of being itself involved in war. In this mood the U.

No more withdrawal of ambassadors, no more neat little ultimatums expiring at midnight. Instead, calculated or swift attack. Instead, wars that aren't called wars, and peace that isn't peace. . . . There have been three undeclared wars since the year 1935 [Ethiopia, Spain, China...
