The one theme in the mind of
President Wilson is the ratifying of
the treatAof peace and the covenant
of the league of nations. The presi-
dent has established an ideal, and is
leaving no stone unturned, so far as
it is in his power, to accomplish this
end. That the league of nations will
not bring forth the millennium, there
is scarcely any room for doubt, but
that it will be an improvement over
the present condition of the world
ought to be apparent. Herbert Hoov-
er says that there can be no peace
treaty without league, and he fur
ther adds that the peace treaty ought
to be ratified and to be ratified at
once, as Bolshevism is at present on
the wane, but that it will come forth
again in all it's fury unless something
is done Immediately to establish
peace in the world again. .
