SENATOR SWANSON
ARGUES ON CRISIS
vlRGlNIAN ASSERTS ThA- M
SACRIFICE OF SOVEREIGNTY
BY US Is INVOLVED.
PATHWAY OF QuTY IS PLAIN
Paramount Obligation to Prevent the
World From Return to Rule OF Bar
Barlsm and Brute Force.

Washington. -Praising the league
Of nations covenant as "one OF the
worlds greatest documents" Senator
Swanson, OF Virginia, democratic
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, told the senate that II the
United States rejected the league it
would mean that she 'skulk in The
greatest world crisis that ever &C.
Cured"
The speaker defended the league
against the objections that It would
sacrifice sovereignty and American
traditions and asserted that on the
contrary II would result In immense
material gain in protecting American
integrity and preventing war. He de-,
clared 1t would not create a super
government, involve Objectionable OBJ
legations nor "inyalidate the Monroe
doctrine.
THE pathway OF our duty Is plain
said Senator Swanson. Let us not
be frightened by our own prodigious
shadow as 1t projects itself into world
affairs. Let us not be deferred from
our manifest duty and destiny by a
craven fear OF becoming great in CIV
ing service and direction to a world in
a direst hour OF It's needs and distress.
Pointing out that the war has sha-
ken the social order to its foundation.
the Virginia senator said It was the
paramount obligation Of responsible
statesmen to prevent another such
confagration, which would return the
world ito the rule Of brute force and
barbarism Of the dark ages"
