BAR WHOLE LEAGUE,
BORAH NOW URGES
"Call to Arms" Says Time Is
Ripe to Defeat Scheme
Entirely.
speeso, Despatch to Tus sus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The time Is
W st when the League of Nations fight
is fight between adoption Of the treaty
with reservations or without. in the
opir,on OF Senator BorahI (Idaho). Mr..
Borah to-day raised the flag Of oppo-
sitIon to any league whatever.
For several months the Idaho Senator
has been receiving letters by the thou
sands endorsing his opposition to any
league. He has carefully kept n regis
ter Of signers to these communications.
To-day, determined that the time was
ripo for most vigorous action, he sent
to a number of his correspondents. repre-
senting every State in the Union, a tele-
gram summoning them to proceed with
the last phase of tho nght; to organize
in opposition to any league regardless OF
whether reservations can or cannot be
adopted. The telegram, described as
"oaIl to arms'' addressed 70 all irrecon-
cilables, follows:
Time ripe to start campaign for de-
feat Of the whole un-American scheme OF
the league Any league will involve US
In all European turmoils and conflicts
and pledge our American boys for police
dogs OF Europe. Therefore while the
opposition are using the high cost of
u
discipline their forces let us move up
to the true American trench, to wit-no
alliance or league with any European
or Asiatic Power.
The cost of living is no higher than
1t was two weeks ago, but the league
votes are fewer. The way to reduce the
cost OF living and at the same time pre-
serve the independence OF the Republic
is to come out OF Europe, bring our SOL
diers home, quit being used as a cats
paw by Japan in Siberia, keep out of
European entanglements and devote our
energies and our efforts to the relief of
our own people and the building up of
our own industries and the settling Of
our own economic questions.
Under the guise of league OF peace
we are being given military autoc-
racy wkioh Is being supported and urged
by the munition makers of Great Britain.
France. japan and the United States.
Three months more fighting and this
scheme to embron US in all the Quarrels
and moral debauches of Europe and Asia
such as She ntung will be ignominlously
defeated
Garry the facts to the people: they
will take care of the Republic when they
see II Is In danger"
