Anybody who says that said
President wilson's league of na-
tions has little chance of being rati-
aed' is a malicious liar. / have
studiously avoided discussing II In
my lectures or intervievs-though
asked to do so.
when the news came over to the
House that fifty Senators had signed
a round robin against II. I said that
he league of peace could not be rati-
led because II takes two-thirds to
ratify-that Is unless they changed
heir minds. because Of amendments
or for other reasons-all of which is
= mathematical demonstration.
When I have time to study the
ssuh1ect In all its bearings ! probably
win give full expression to my views.
This Mays canard Is part and par
eel OF the campaign which he and
others are making to disorganize and
ractionaliEe the Democrats in the
Houss."
