REED REITEATES
WILSON ATTACK
Senator Flags Presidents Plan
for World League as
Dangerous.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-Speaking before
the National Shoe Retailers association,
In convention here, United States Sena-
tor James A.. Reed reiterated his at
tacks on President Wilson's plan for
a league Of nations, and declared the
only way the United States could be
! assured freedom from the ravages Of
war was to build up an invincible army
n navy
The hope Of the world Is in Ameri-
ca" he declared, and the vision of
the league Of nations can only be re-
allied in Heaven. Is it not strange to
talk Of ruling the world by love, when,
In view of the great war just ended,
not love, but arms saved civilization
from savagery?
Are we, in the face OF this recent
| history, to lay down the arms that
saved us, enter into treaty agreements
with nations that have ~disregarded
treaty obligations; or are we going to
adopt the other proposition and create
a great international army and navy,
sufficient to conquer any two or three
nations Of the world, thus placing our
selves in a situation where we may at
any moment be crushed by this inter-
rational j%uggernaut which we have
helped create?
Shall we permit ourselves to be
brought into every European squabble
and allow our young men TO be con-
sCripted to do service on every sea ana
every land at the dictation Of the
league Of nations?
by entering such a league, we sur
render part Of our sovereignty; we VIC
late our constitution by s%urrendering
to foreign nations the power reserved
| to congress to declare war and to make
peace: we lose our self-government,
and we compel our citizens to serve
! in foreign wars. The fate Of America
can not be settled at a council table
| where sit the Turk, the Bulgar and
the Japanese"
