Veteran Wins Day.

only a fortnight ago there was a
gathering OF the local branch of the
Sons OF the Revolution. Some present
were opposed to the league. Many in
present. a major OF infantry Just re-
turned from the Argonne battles in
France made a plea for the league of
nations that won the day. He pictured
the war he had been through and the
sacrifices and hardships which were in
evitable in war. He begged that fu-
ture generations be not, asked to en-
dure what our men and the men of
other nations had just endured. There
was no argument after that.
Senator Johnson, Of California, has
been inclined to oppose the league be-
cause 1t might benefit Europe more
than II does America. Mr.. Johnson's
criticisms have great weight In Califor-
MA, for he is by far the most power
And his objections are recognized as
sincere, he Is understood to feel that
the ain of Imperialism and territorial
s~ellishness is upon most OF the Euro
pean powers and hat America should
not mingle further in such company
But on the other hand he has com
mended Mr.. Wilson's ~denunciation Of
secret diplomacy in the Italian contro-
Versy, The two are not inconsistent.
Mr. johnson would probably o OBJ
ject to a league of nations II Amer
lean standards OF justice and ideals OF
unselfishness were to be the guiding
principles Of International inter-
course hereafter, Maybe they will and
maybe they will not. In a stu
alton, however, in which the United
States finds herself inextricably tied
by commercial bonds If not by senti-
mental regards for other nations in dis
tress to the countries OF the world, the
opportunity for American standards to
prevail is unquestionably greater in an
International society In which the
United States has a powerful voice thar
IN a scheme of things in which she holds
herself aloof. On this ground many
people in California believe Senator
Johnson will eventually be found voting
for the league covenant because they
do believe he Is sincerely anxious to
cast his vote for a movement that may
bring peace to the world rather thar
for the return Of the United States to a
policy OF aloofness which In 1917 was
proved incapable of preserving peace.
