SEES SMALLER NATIONS
MENACED BY TRAITORS

Private Victor ~. Castros. of the
Medical Corps, Is against the league OF
nations because he did not believe that
the Paris Peace Conference was living
up to the Wilson stand on the freedom
of little nations"
''They appear to be agreeing with
President wilson, said Castros, but
In reality they are getting ready to di-
vide the small nations regardless OF
their racial and national prejudlces.
And IL they will do this in the name Of
a league of nations. they will do other
things. I do not believe there is any
advantage to be found for this country
in entering into an agreement With
Europe for the preservation of world
peace"
Private Aquilla Standifrd. Of Com
pany NJ. 6lst Infantry. who was gassed
in the Anould sector. favored the
league of nations because, as he put It,
this is an honest effort to reach over
the preiiudices Of nations and establish
an understanding among the peoples
Of the world"
Sergeant G. A. Simmons, who served
with the medical corps in France, was
opposed to the league as it stands, but
favored 1t If it were amended 10 in
Clude specif'c recognition, by all ma
tions, of the Monroe Doctrine.
one OF those most strongly opposed
to the plan for league of nations
was Private Raymond r, Moore. a dis
patch rider. who was thrice wounded
"''h bullets and gassed once. Private
Brown had decided doubts as 10 the
sincerity of the English.
They don't look good to me-" he said.
And I've been among them Il lot, too.
I don't think that they give hang

The straw vote which was taken at
the offices of the Farm Journal and by
friends of employees shows a record Of
twelve TO one in favor Of the league of
nations

men confessed that they had been been
able to form no definite opinion upon
! the subject.
The men showed an insight into the
matter that proved they are following
each move of the Peace Conference with
great interest. The arguments put forth
both for and against the proposed agree
ment showed deep consideration given
the subject before any opinion was
formed.
Howard Fisher, e23 South Paxson
street, and Il. Il. Pratt. $50 North For
tieth street. stopped an argument on the
league of-nations idea just long enough
to give their views on that subject to
the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER represcn-
tative taking the poll.
"Of course. lin against IT," Fisher
said, land SO Is every other man who
has really studied the matter with the
welfare Of the United States at heart.
Our present prosperity and commanding
position In the world was reached be-
cause we tended to our own business
war that came along. Why should we
risl; our present standing upon an eN-
perimcnt?"
But conditions have greatly
changed" Pratt argued. The methods
that achieved success for this country
in the Dast will not suffice to continue It's
prosperity. We must acknowledge the
fact that there are other nations in the
world. and take part in their activities
or they will all be allied against us.
President Wilson has proved that he
knows what is best for the country, and
he surely would not advise the, United
states to become party to the pact
unless he was sure Of the benefits to be
derived from it.
Besides" hc added, every other
method or stopping wars has proved to
be a failure. Why not give the league
Chance?"

To the Editor Of the Euentng Public
Ledger:
Sir-Hnclose my vote against the
league Of nations for the following rea-
sons:
The idea to combine nations in league
to prevent war is over 1000 years old.
II the ancient Romans and Egyptians
with all their arts and culture could not
succeed we cant. Peace should be con-
cluded first, and all settlements should
be paid by Germany. Leading nations
should control her affairs till she can
form q stable government
President Wilson seems to wish for
notoriety. No doubt his leanings are
toward the English his relatives being
English.
England has a viceroy Of India, but
If l am not mistaken she keeps an
armed force to see her laws are obeyed

"a League Is Necessary"

To the Editor Of the EUentng Public
Ledger:
Sir--I should like TO be registered as
voting "yes" on the league Of nations
because unless the world is organized
II will only be a few years before some
aggressive nation will precipitate war,
trusting to the disorganization of the
world to win. A league of nations is
necessary to free nations from fear and
menace from crushing armaments and
bellicose international tactics. 1t Will
not only make war far less probable, but
will make peace more just and equitable.
Europe is guaranteeing she will not dis
turb the territorial integrity of the
Americans, so, as Cecil says, the Monroe
Doctrine is strengthened.
Those who wish us to keep out of
European matters and stick to the new
world fail to realize that the world
is a unity today and that the Atlantic
Is no longer an adequate moat.

But we must not forget that we have as
our leader a strong and able man in
whom the old foxes in Europe find an
irremovable obstacle in their way of old
diplomacy.
As to the Senator's opposition to the
league, I think that the political grudge
against the President is too apparent to
be ignored. I have good reasons TO
hope that Senator II. C. Lodge, of whose
state am a citizen, is serving his last
term in the Senate.
My last words are that any voice of
opposition to the league gives encour-
agement to dark and conservative forces
here as we'll as abroad, while an over
whelming support would make the
league a success and future wars would
be impossible.

Sir--I am In favor of the league OF

Spells Worldwide Peace

TO the Editor Of the EreniN1 Public
Ledger:
Sir-Will you kindly count my vote
as emphatically yes in favor OF a pro-
posed league Of nations?
I have read a large amount OF liter
ature on the subject, including the ad-
dresses of Senator Borah and other
Senators, as we'll as those of President
Wilson and former President Taft. The
present form OF the league, with very
slight amendments. spells not only world
wide peace but increasing goodwill and
amity among the nations of the world
Article 20, for instance, of the proposed
league requires each of the high con-
tracing parties to register with the
secretary general. every treaty or in
tcrnational engagement which may be
entered into, and that the same shall be
published by him as soon as possible. 1t
is further provided, that no such treaty
or international engagement shall be
binding unless so registered.
Another great step in world progress
the end of secret diplomacy--sends us
far along the way toward permanent
peace and International safety. Wash
irgton's counsel never meant that In the
twentieth century, with Europe our next
door neighbor, We should build
Chinese wall of exclusion, so far as In
ternational responsibility is concerned,
and yet, at the same time, in the inter-
'sts of capital and labor of the United
states, do nine billion dollars worth of
business with other nations Of the world.
As a Republican and more as n pa
tr!ot and citizen, I vote for the league
Of nations.
