r Theirs is the responsibility. They

err Theirs is the responsibility. They
must get together.
The failure to ratify the peace
treaty has encouraged social unrest
both at home and abroad. Europe
must have supplies or it will face star
vation and anarchy this winter. Our
farmers. cotton planters. live stock
raisers and manufacturers have large
surplus production which they can
market only in Europe. The rates
Of exchange already demonstrate the
collapse Of any national credits. These
credits, resting upon commerce and
international securities. are the
foundation Of our continued prosper
;ty and are vital TO the maintenance
OF order and life in Europe.
Men and women OF America, this
is your problem. Your interests. your
welfare. the honor and the future OF
your country are involved. Your will
is the supreme command for the men
in Washington entrusted by your votes
with guiding the nation along the
paths of peace and victory.
The allied nations esta blished dur
ing the war practical union which
is being succeeded by the league OF
nations. To refuse to join this
league is TO lose numberless benefits
and TO invite the development Of
league that will be hostile to us in
feeling and policy. The league of ma
tions gives the promise of a world
cooperating for the purpose Of peace
and protecting itself by concerted ac-
ton against war and the threat OF
war. The ideal is American.
The men and women who gladly
dedicated their sons and their sub
stance to the cause of obtaining
peace through the defeat of the Ger
man menace refuse to believe that
they made an empty sacrifice They
demand that the senators harmonic
their differences. Refusal to do SO,
will defy and betray the people OF

The treaty should be ratified at the
earliest possible moment aftel, the
senate reconvereS on December !. In
the name Of thousands Of Americans
who have died to bring peace and
end war, Of millions Of Americans
who have toiled and sacrificed to that
end, we call upon the senate to for
get prejudice and paftinsanship and
agree upon a resolution Of ratifica-
ton couched in terms that will per-
nit the other signatories Of the treaty
to acouiesce in the conditions Of our
ratification
