• Speech to League of Nations in 1928– Europe is divided by a line which separates two entirely
different conceptions of the idea of the “Nation.” On one side of the line are the peoples for whom the state is everything, and who also understand national sentiment as a great enthusiasm for the state to which they, of their own free will, belong. On the other side of that line of demarcation, the sentiment of civilization, of a common tongue and a common origin, preponderates.
