Conflicts With G. Washington.
Washington, ID. C.-Senator Borah
of Idaho, who will be one of the re-
publican critics of President Wilson's
peace address when the subject is
debated in the senate, declared in a
speech before the Michigan Society
Of Washington recently that all pro-
posals of alliances and leagues to
enforce world peace inevitably would
commit the United States to a course
in direct conflict to the policy of
Washington and Monroe.
"If the people of this country want
to enter European politics" the SEN
ator said, take part in European
controversies, become entangled in
the dynastic dissensions, if they want
to furnish money and soldiers, ships
and men to be subject to the call
of some tribunal or league, in which
tribunal we will have but one vote,
very well. The people have a right
to enter that perilous course If they
choose, for this is the peoples gov
eminent But let us understand per.
fectly what it means before we take
the step. Let us not be deceived
nor deceive ourselves. We should
debate and consider every step be
fore we take it, for these are the
steps which once taken it is impos
sible for a people to retrace.'
