"a prime fact. which hould be

Promise,
Some OF the men taking part in the
meeting to form this league were good
citizens who had not clearly thought
out the matter. Most OF the leaders,
however. represented the DID and foolish
type 81 peace prattlers who do not
care to think al all.
Again. such a league is utterly mean
ingless or silly unless II means that the
United States will prepare a great mill

Therefore any man who Joins this

G.. O.. P. SENATE LEADER
TO SUPPORT DEFENCE
Asked to Conference With vii.
son on Plans for Prepared
ness Campaign.

wAsnINGroN, Dec 1.--Senator Gall
l!nser. leader Of the minority In the
Senate. arrived in Washington to-day
and will confer with the President soon.
Both he n Mr.. Mann, on the Republic
can side Of the House. have been invited
to talk over the Presidents defence
policy.
1t IL expected that Senator Gallinger
will convene tho Republican caucus on
Saturday afternoon or Monday morning.
He will be reelected leader OF the minor
ity without opposition. Senator CAL
linger is dean Of the Senate, holding the
record for the longest continuous service
OF n member now In office.
Senate Gallinger said to-day that he
had always been In favor of liberal APP
propriations for the army and navy and
that he was prepared to vote for an In
crease In the regular army. for the Gre
alton OF an adequate reserve army and
for n large increase In the navy.
He advocated an immediate readjust-
ment Of the tariff on a protective basis
to meet Industrial conditions In the
United States following the close Of the
war. which. the Senator believes. will be
chaotic.
Had Il not been for this wal In Eu-
rope the industrial situation In the
United States to-day would a v been
worse than during the second Cleveland
Administration" said Mr.. Gallinger. "As.
II In we must provide against a situation
that will follow the close Of the war. No
attempt to prevent foreign goods being
dumped upo our shores will be effective
except through y high protective tariff.
which I consider among the first and
most necessary pieces Of legislation that
Congress should enact"
Senator Gallinger Is to renew his fight
for an American shipping subsidy and no
will oppose a Government owned mer-
a marine. He Is against a cloture
rule in the Senate and advocates the
preservation OF the right Of unlimited
debate.
