SENATOR LODGE SPRINGS A
CLINCHER.

Now here is a clincner against
the League of Nations and it
comes from no less eminent au-
thority than Senator Lodge.
Being "A careful reader Of the
press reports, the senator discov-
cred in some obscure corner of u
newspaper that the Bedouins are
attacking the kingdom Of He'd
Jazz wherever that is and that
since Eledjaz is a member Of the
league, Uncle Sam will have to
mobilize his forces and rush to
the rescue if the covenant is
adopted
Now just think Of that Isn't
it truly awful to think Of send
ing million or two Of our boys
abroad to mop up on those peslSy
Bedouins2 And, of course, all the
other members of The league will
have to mobilize for the fray
There Is no getting away from it
-Hedjaz will have to be defend
ed from the savage Bedouins and
it means more Liberty loans,
more Red Crossing, more battle
ships and more Of everything
else that war entails. Does Amer
lea want to tackle the job Of lick
ing the Bedouins and can we af-
ford it2 No, there isn't a chance
that the hordes of desert warriors
will back up when they see mil
lions Of men coming against
them; it will be fight to the
finish and an untold number off
American boys must be sacrificed |
merely to protect IIediaz.
1t is true that Uncle Sam might |
be able to save some men and |
money by sending Sergeant York
Of Tennessee, over to attend to
the case Of the Bedouns and |
there is no doubt that York |
could handle the job single
handed but this plan wouldn't
suit Senator Lodge because it
would knock his heavy argument
against the covenant considerably
higher than Gilroy's famous kite.
BY no means let us enter into
any combination which would re-
quire us to defend the territorial
integrity Of Hedjaz against un-
justified attacks; that article !
of the covenant must be out, so
says the great, sagacious states
man, even though it destroys the
whole scheme to prevent war by
providing for fair judicious set
tlement Of controversies among
nations.
Only few years ago, as
shown conclusively by the pub
lished speeches of the Massaehu-
setts senator, Mr.. Lodge was
firmly convinced that a League
Of Nations was the only remedy |
for war. At that time he made
the same arguments in behalf of !
a world alliance that the propo-
ponents Of the League Of Nations
are using at the present time but
now he declares that we cannot at
ford to "palter with our independ-
ence" by entering into such a
combination Of powers. OF course
it is an inherent right Of every |
man to change his mind but MIR.
Lodge will have to answer his
own arguments of a few years
ago before he can hope to bring
the rest of us around to his %ay
of thinking
