i'll the League of Nations Put an End to War?
The American Press Divides Some
Papers Say Yes, Others Doubtful
Its Effect ON America Discussed

articles seem to have extended to a
certain extent to the press of the coun-
try, which, for the most part, is reluctant
to express an opinion of document of
such tremendous scope and Importance
Aside from the inevitable question of
whether such an agreement will work
and the inevitable difference of opinion
regarding its infringement upon our own
Constitution, and the matter of how
much of our individual rights we will
be compelled to sacrifice in an "entan-
Cling alliance" for what is considered by
some as doubtful return, the national
editorial page, as a whole, has heralded
the twenty-six articles as a carefully
planned and monumental piece of work.
work worthy of careful consideration
and not to be scoffed at lightly. Many
editors agree with Josephus Daniels that
the end of war is in sight, or at
least, that a long stride has been made
toward the ultimate goal. Admittedly
the draft is still in a preliminary form.
submitted for preliminary discussion to
the peoples of the world, but still, to
quote "The Boston Herald" ''it may we'll
raise high the hopes of humanity"
There is only one way, according to
"The Springfield Republican," to tell
whether the new agreement will work.
and that is by experience and, therefore,
"let the experiment be made" But if we
try it, there is a definite issue, as pointed
out by "The Philadelphia North Ameri-
cam: "Shall America surrender GER
tain part of her absolute sovereignty in
return for the cooperative protection of
civilization?" In the Judgment of the
same journal a peremptory refusal
would be an act Of recklessness." But
in the opinion Of "The St. Louis Globe
Democrat" just as the league draft Gre
ates no military power "it demands the
surrender Of no material sovereignty"
According to others, as expressed by
"The Atlanta Constitution" the cant
about "entangling alliances" belongs to
another page of history, because 1--WE are
involved and inextricably involved in
not only European affairs but the affairs
of the whole world, and it is inevitable
that we must forever remain so.''
In framing the covenant "The Balti-
more American" observes that "practi-
cally all the diplomatic and internation-
alist experiences of the world have been
drafted upon," and "The Commercial
Appeal" Of Memphis, believes that
"after hasty reading one sees that the
plan is modelled chiefly along old lines"
so much so that "The Boston Evening
Transcript sees in the document merely
a setting up Of new balance of power
with America as the new ally" ut is,"

President described it, very human

mains skeptical, remarking: "It is said
to point the way to eternal peace Who
knows if it does not point the way to

Below are quoted the reactions from
the press outside Of New York divided
into two main divisions, those which deal
with the effectiveness of the league
plan and those which deal with the effect
it's adoption would have upon America.
