	Liberalism, The League of Nations
		The liberal therefore demands that the political organization of society be extended until it reaches its culmination in a world state that unites all nations on an equal basis.
		The League of Nations retains the fundamental defect of all previous international law: in setting up procedural rules for adjudicating disputes between nations, it is not in the least interested in creating any other norms for their settlement than the preservation of the status quo and the enforcement of existing treaties.
		Liberal thinking must permeate all nations, liberal principles must pervade all political institutions, if the prerequisites of peace are to be created and the causes of war eliminated.

	Liberal Party Policy Statement - Education
		LIBERAL education policy is designed as a lifelong process to maximize the capability and self-fulfilment of individuals, thereby maximising their full potential, and enriching their lives, together with that of the community of which each is a part.
		Liberals believe that education should be seen as a form of empowerment rather than as something that is done to the learner, and be regarded as an on going entitlement, with access not restricted by age.
		Liberals believe that open access to further and higher education is a vital sign of a healthy society and that education should be a lifelong process and not regarded as being only for the young.

	League of Nations
		The league and its covenant were the ultimate expression of that vision, and President Wilson submitted the treaty to the Senate confident that he could persuade enough of its members to vote for ratification.
		Although the treaty was ultimately rejected (precluding American participation in the league), the political fight that surrounded the Versailles Treaty proved to be one of the most important episodes of the interwar period.
		Neither country was penalized for its actions, but by 1936 the league had become so marginal that virtually all meaningful diplomacy was being conducted on a bilateral level.

		Liberal International calls for peaceful cross-strait talks based on the spirit of mutual benefit to carry on and, in the same spirit, for Taiwan’s entry into the WHO and other organisations of the United Nations family.
		Liberal International notes with concern the renewed communal conflict in India, and the influence of Hindu nationalism on government, and in Gujarat in particular which may keep India in a state of conflict for many years.
		Liberal International is saddened over the lack of willingness of the Singapore government to introduce reforms in the political system of the country that would allow freedom of speech and possibility for all democratic forces to freely advocate their policies.

	Classical Liberalism - Macro Economics, Politics. Chap I. From Aristotle to Montesquieu and Adam Smith
		On the contrary, in its liberal sense, liberty essentially means the submission of all, individuals and government, to the law and to the dictates of conscience.
		In its liberal meaning, equality implies the abolition of all birthrights that were broadly accepted in the 18th century, and the equality of all human beings of any race, religion, or nationality.
		The liberal idea of equality differs from its Marxist counterpart in that Liberalism accepts that the incentives of differential retribution and private ownership are essential to the effective functioning of society, and that therefore, despite their being a contributing factor to social inequality, they result in general welfare.

	The Chronicle: 3/10/2006: The Liberal Arts in School and College
		First, liberal education (by which I mean an engagement with the major aspects of human knowledge and values) is not a throwaway, a bauble for rich kids in select institutions who are going to get good jobs no matter what they study.
		Liberal education is, or should be, at the core of training our youth to serve themselves, their country, and the world.
		Second, liberal education is a process laden with content that stretches over an extended period of schooling — at the very least from the third year of high school through the second year of college — and arguably over the entire eight years for those who attend the two institutions.

	A League of Wanderers
		Liberal education is not about majors nor even eventual careers; it is about having the skills and perspective and imagination to see connections where others do not, to be able to invoke new resources in the solution of a problem.
		In liberal education we want you to wander because we know life is neither a box nor a perfect plan and we want you to know what to do next—particularly when there is not script, score, or pattern for the decisions you must make or the life you must lead.
		Stuck took his liberal education everywhere he went and was one of the greatest extollers of a “Sewanee education” as superior to the narrow limits of specialty educations.

	When Did Liberal Become a Dirty Word? by F. Johnson - Democratic Underground
		Liberals are not getting equal time because of the popular misconception (purveyed by hate talk radio) that the press represents only the liberal eastern establishment.
		Originally the term "liberal" was used to describe a scholar well studied in the liberal arts, someone who was broadly educated in the arts and sciences - history, literature, humanities, languages, mathematics, economics, all the sciences, and the peoples and cultures of many lands.
		A liberal is a person who grew to understand that we are all members of the human race, unique in our own cultures, and each uniquely gifted to contribute to the betterment of mankind.

	We are the Liberal Party - NOT the LibDems
		Liberals are the natural counter to Conservatism and the Liberal Party as we know it today was founded in 1877 to champion freedom of the individual, equality of opportunity and a moderate re-distribution of wealth by means of social and political reform.
		Some of these decided to re-establish the Liberal Party to continue the genuine Liberal political tradition to champion causes which New Labour and the Conservatives opposed and which were about to be forsaken by the Liberal Democrats in their frantic quest to join the political establishment.
		Those Liberals who refused to join the new hybrid party in 1988 felt at the time that the cause of liberalism would eventually lose out to social democracy in the new hybrid party, and so it proved as a change in the new party’s philosophy, constitution and organisation led to changes in policy.

	Liberal and Country League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Created on 9 June 1932 as the result of a merger between the Liberal Federation and the Country Party, the first LCL government was formed on 18 April 1933 under Richard Layton Butler.
		Millhouse, often considered during his term as the most progressive member of the South Australian parliament, was eventually expelled from the LCL in 1973 for his continued criticism of the conservative wing of the party.

	First World War.com - Primary Documents - Henry Cabot Lodge on the League of Nations, 12 August 1919
		Contrast the United States with any country on the face of the earth today and ask yourself whether the situation of the United States is not the best to be found.
		Our first ideal is our country, and we see her in the future, as in the past, giving service to all her people and to the world.
		A "creeping barrage" is an artillery bombardment in which a 'curtain' of artillery fire moves toward the enemy ahead of the advancing troops and at the same speed as the troops.

	UH -Top Education Stories - Aid Lets Smaller Colleges Ask, Why Pay for Ivy League Retail?
		Such scholarships are particularly pervasive in the Midwest, where many liberal arts colleges award them to as many as half or even three-quarters of their students.
		Officials at midlevel liberal arts colleges say that as tuition costs rise, they have to use merit scholarships and other aggressive strategies, like waiving admission fees or paying partial airfare for some applicants' campus visits, to hold on to their precarious niche in American higher education.
		Merit aid is essentially a deep discount meant to narrow the gap between the cost of a private liberal arts education, where tuition alone can cost from $25,000 to $32,000 a year, and the tuition at public universities, which generally ranges from $4,000 to $9,000 for in-state students.

	CATHOLIC LEAGUE for Religious and Civil Rights
		This experience of the league shows that it has become a prominent member on the scene of Catholic life, particularly dealing with the turbulent forces that are alive and well in Catholic culture and our American culture at large.
		It is incumbent on the leadership of the league to navigate with all these forces and not succumb to one of them.
		If the league were to protest such an anomaly, it would be accused of being over-sensitive, combative, ghetto-minded, culturally fixated, or denying free speech.

	Paraguay - Liberal Decades
		Laissez-faire Liberal policies had permitted a handful of hacendados to exercise almost feudal control over the countryside, while peasants had no land and foreign interests manipulated Paraguay's economic fortunes.
		The Liberal government also provoked criticism when it forced Franco, by then a national hero, to retire from the army.
		Formed in 1928 by a group of intellectuals, the League sought a new era in national life that would witness a great political and social rebirth.

		Since the foundation of the Liberal and Country League in 1933, the LCL and its successor — the modern Liberal Party — have dominated the government benches, both in South Australia and at a national level.
		Liberal legends such as Sir Robert Menzies and Sir Thomas Playford have been born as a result of the hard work and determination of committed Liberals who have:
		Such are their efforts that the real legends of the Liberal Party lie not just with names like Menzies or Playford, but stretch to the grassroots supporters of our organization and our philosophies.

	League League
		The League, according to historian James Patterson, author of Congressional Conservatism and the New Deal, was partially the result of urging for a coalition of conservatives of both parties to defeat Roosevelt.
		In terms of finances, various studies of the League’s operations have shown that in its six-year history it solicited and disbursed almost $1.2 million, most of which was spent in the short period between its founding in August 1934 and the presidential election of 1936.
		Thoughts of discontinuing the League surfaced, and when the returns came in in November and a conservative rout had become apparent, the die was cast against the American Liberty League.

	The Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
		Anthony and Sinclair publicly denounced the League, mainly for its infiltration, as did some State Country Party leaders, but broad circulation of the paper proved to be problematic, as the League was able to point to its left wing sources, to the embarrassment of the Party (37).
		He nonetheless expressed concerns that the League was dividing the rural community because of its "unwarranted" attacks on the Party "when it should be pursuing strongly united political action through the Country Party" (39).
		Through all this the League continued with its campaign, providing support for meetings of electors and candidates, but there is no evidence that their activities affected the outcome of the elections of December 1972.

		The bars and lobbies of the League's building are full of Russians and Jews who intrigue with and dominate the press, and spend their time spreading rumours of approaching war, but I don't believe them, not with Neville (Chamberlain) at the helm.

	The Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
		While the League from time to time cited areas of common ground with the conservative parties (to lay claim to mainstream credentials, critics claimed), the writings of its key activists were steeped in conspiracy theories of history, and rejected the party political system as corrupt and corrupting (1).
		Suggestions that the Liberal or Country parties were in some way tools of the League are unfounded, yet individuals from both parties, in some cases senior individuals, had been willing to overlook the League's anti-Semitism, racism,hostility to the party system, and unorthodox economics if they were prepared to assist in thwarting the Labor Party.
		The League's fanciful theories of Judeo-Leninist skulduggery were a useless diversion and were recognised as such by the vast majority of rural Australians, whether dissatisfied with the Country Party or not.

	Jack Cashill - The illiberal orthodoxy of the liberal media			The accepted wisdom seems to be that a certain liberal orthodoxy permeates the American media, especially on matters of religion.

		It insists on free expression, abhors guilt by association, rejects malicious stereotyping, refuses to pass judgment on cultural and religious differences, and keens for open-mindedness and tolerance, almost to a fault.

	Minor League Baseball: News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Major League clubs concerned about their pitchers throwing "ahead of the calendar" in the World Baseball Classic were reassured Thursday by strict pitch counts spelled out in a wide array of regulations for the March event announced by tournament officials.
		Commitments by Major League clubs will be limited to a total of 14 players from within its organization, and 10 off its big-league roster as of Aug. 31, 2005 (the day before the 25-man limit was lifted).
		Those liberal rules, as previously noted, boil down to one litmus test: Qualifying for a passport issued by the particular country.
