force. 1t will be practically impossible TO
get back to the policy under which we
have lived and strengthened Tor more
than century
"The singular and startling vicious
ness of this whole proposition OF
league to insure peace or enforce peace
is this: We enter the league, we con-
tribute our portion of ships and soldiers
for a police force of the world, force
large enough and strong enough to
crush those who do not submit their vital
interests to arbitration or conciliation.
Then some question arises as to immi-
grafton. citizenship or of territorial pro-
pinuuity to which we decline as peo-
pie to submit. especially to a tribunal so
preponderatingly In numbers against u.s.
Then we have agreed in advance that
this force which we have helped to cre-
ate shall attack and assail us as peo-
pie.
without assuming TO assail individ-
uals, l denounce this principle as per
fectly vicious. as perfectly heinous. inde-
fensible In morals and not even hardly q
proper subject for these after dinner

The speech made a profound impress
sion on the members and their guests
among them being the entire Michigan
delegation in Congress. The address wal
received with cheers.

WAsH1NGToN, Jan. 26.-Any course of
national policy which includes alliances
and leagues to enforce world peace will
inevitably result not in peace but In
war for the United States was the
direct warning uttered tonight by
Senator William L. Borah of Idaho In
speech before the Michigan Society Of
Washington, at which he was the guest
of honor.
In his address the Senator attacked
the League to Enforce Peace. declaring
that 1t promoted a policy calculated to
embroil this country in any future con-
hict; he criticised ex-President Taft for
his position on the question; and, infer
entially. he condemned President Wilson
for his present stand and for the speech
he delivered last Monday before the
United States Senate
All proposals of alliances and leagues
TO enforce world peace inevitably would
commit the United States to a course In
direct conflict to the policy of Washing
and continued:
III the people of this country want to
enter European politics. take part in
European controversies. become entan-
gled in its dynastic dissensions. II they
want to furnish money and soldiers
ships and men to be subject to the cal
of some tribunal or league in which
tribunal we will have but one VOTE very
