that the leagues supporters comprise
with few exceptions, all of the polit-

Emphasis was MADE OF the fact that
today's convention was called at this
time largely for the purpose of OBJ
tanning political action in support of
the leagues proposals, in view of the
possible participation by this country
in international conferences to discuss
peace terms, which will probably be
held as the European war draws to a
close.
The leagues proposals are said to
have the support of Lord Bryce, Sir
Edward Grey, and to be regarded ia
vorably by other Europeans
The League to Enforce Peace was
organized in Independence Hall last
June, when a platform was adopted
which proposes that the United States
join a league to be composed of the
great powers, who shall guarantee a
lasting peace by pledging the use
of their joint armed forces, togethe-
with economic pressure. against any
signatory which shall refuse to keen

there is no real plot in the book itself
