nounced any idea of a league of nations
that would include Germany. Austria
Hungary and Turkey in its member =
ship. He also branded as silly any as

would guarantee peace to those who
have not the will and power to prepare

Support any such plan which is hon

port it as an addition to, and never IL
substitute for the policy of preparing
our own strength for our own defense.
To follow any other course would turn
this country into a China of the Occi-
dent.
Il believe preparation should be start
ed by the introduction In this country
of the principle of universal training
and universal service, as practiced in
Switzerland. There will be no tant OF
