The League Of Nations debates
here has caused this topic to be
discussed a great deal during the
past week. Senator Seldom P.
Spencer came down and made a
forty minutes talk before a Joint
meeting of the house and senate
and instead Of expressing an o.
pinion other than that he favor
ed the right kind of a League of
Nations remained on the top rail
of the fence during the entire
time. Spencer demonstrated his
weakness when he stated that he
would not favor any sort Of a
league that would take from con-
gress the right to declare war.
he knows, undoubtedly, that the
constitution of the United States
vests this power in congress and
that the United States cannot
amend it, but instead this must
be done by thirty-siX states. Re-
publicans were displeased with
his speech and termed it the
greatest "straddle' they had w
er witnessed.
